Tri-State Nissan Hosts Chamber of Commerce Mixer

Business professionals networking at Tri-State Nissan during the Winchester Chamber of Commerce Mixer

September 2017 | Winchester, Virginia: Earlier this month, Tri-State Nissan had the pleasure of hosting the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber of Commerce’s September Mixer. The event brought together a diverse group of business owners, professionals, and community leaders for an evening of connection and collaboration. Although the calendar said “networking,” the night felt more like a celebration of the people and partnerships that make our region thrive.

Why This Matters to Tri-State Nissan

At Tri-State Nissan and across the Marlow Auto Group, we believe in building long-term relationships—not only with our customers but also with fellow businesses. Participating in and hosting events like the Chamber Mixer is a natural extension of our values: Community, Integrity, Relationships, Innovation, and Exceeding Expectations. Supporting the Chamber helps us stay connected to the challenges, successes, and goals of our peers. More importantly, it gives us the opportunity to give back, to listen, and to grow together. That’s why we didn’t just open our doors—we welcomed the community in with pride.

The Chamber’s Role in Our Community

The Winchester Chamber of Commerce is more than a network. It serves as a bridge between businesses and the broader community. As a member, you gain access to community leaders, collaborative programs, and meaningful partnerships. Events like the monthly mixer are designed to build your social capital and offer tangible value to members of all sizes and industries. For new members, it’s an opportunity to get involved. For established businesses, it’s an opportunity to reintroduce yourself, share your evolution, and even mentor others. You can learn more about the TVRC Chamber of Commerce on their website.

What We Loved Most About the Evening

Conversations flowed easily throughout the night. From first-time attendees to seasoned members, everyone brought something unique to the table. We heard from local entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and fellow car enthusiasts. There were discussions about challenges faced, recent successes, and future collaborations. At Tri-State Nissan, we loved seeing our space transformed into a hub for new ideas. The energy in the room was contagious. And although the cars on our showroom floor were the same, the night gave them a new purpose—serving as a symbol of connection, progress, and shared momentum.

Putting Our Values Into Action

Events like this are more than photo ops—they’re part of how we live our values. Community isn’t just something we say; it’s something we invest in. When local businesses thrive, our entire region benefits. When we support each other, we all grow stronger. Integrity means showing up authentically. Relationships are built through trust and consistency. Innovation occurs when fresh perspectives converge. And exceeding expectations? That’s what we strive for every time we engage with others—inside and outside the dealership.

Looking to the Future

This mixer was just one chapter in a larger story. As we look ahead, Tri-State Nissan is committed to continuing our involvement with the Chamber and supporting more opportunities for community engagement. Whether it’s hosting future mixers, participating in economic roundtables, or supporting local causes, our commitment remains firm. We hope this mixer served as a reminder that our community isn’t just strong—it’s united.

An Open Invitation to You

If you’re a local business owner, professional, or community member interested in building deeper relationships, we encourage you to get involved. Attend a future Chamber event. Visit Tri-State Nissan. Reach out to someone you met at the mixer. And if you’re a student, teacher, or community organizer, know that we’re always open to hosting school tours, participating in career days, and offering mentorships.

Final Thoughts

We’re proud to have hosted the Top Of Virginia Regional Chamber of Commerce Mixer and thankful for every handshake, conversation, and smile shared that evening. Events like this remind us why we love what we do—and who we do it for. Thank you to the Winchester Chamber, the attendees, and everyone who continues to believe in the power of connection. Let’s keep the conversation going.

About The Marlow Auto Group

Marlow Auto Group Legacy ArchiveMarlow Auto Group has proudly served the Northern Shenandoah Valley for over 75 years—but our story begins in 1947 with a decision that set us apart from the start. In the post-World War II era, when cars were scarce and buyers waited months for delivery, our founder, Guy Marlow, chose a different path. Rather than wait in line, he opened a dealership—not just to secure a car for his family, but to help others in the community do the same. That bold, people-first mindset remains at the heart of everything we do.

Over the decades, that one decision grew into a regional family of dealerships: Marlow Motor Company in Front Royal, Tri-State Nissan in Winchester, and Marlow Ford in Luray. As a locally owned and woman-operated business, we continue to grow by staying true to our five core values: Innovation, Integrity, Community, Relationships, and Exceeding Expectations. You’ll find those values in everything we do—from extended service hours that reduce downtime for local businesses to long-standing partnerships with local schools and nonprofits. We believe dealerships should do more than sell and service vehicles. They should solve problems, support their communities, and build trust that lasts. Because at Marlow, doing things differently isn’t just how we started. It’s how we lead.
