We’re proud to share that our very own President and Co-Founder, Russ Briggs, is featured in the July 2025 issue of Manhattan City Lifestyle. The article highlights the inspiring journey of how Russ, alongside his wife Ilene, turned a small pre-owned lot in Manhattan, Kansas into what is now Briggs Auto Group, a thriving automotive group with 12 locations across the state.
Russ built more than a business. He built a legacy rooted in hard work, bold vision, and strong family values. “When you do something that you love, you never work a day in your life. I still love the challenge,” he shares in the feature.
Russ credits the growth and success of Briggs Auto not just to his family, but to the incredible team that helped shape the company’s future. “It wasn’t just me and Ilene who built this business. It was our employees who built it.”
We invite you to read the full article and learn more about the Briggs story, the values that continue to drive us, and the people behind the name.
