Meet the women of Senorita Maria

Maria Erkner comes from an auto family, her father and brother both own several dealerships in Germany. So, when her father challenged her asking if an all-female dealership would be successful, she answered by opening up one herself.

In late 2009, Erkner opened “Senorita Maria” named after the owner. The dealership located in Hennigsdorf, just north of Berlin sells the Seat car. She opened the store with a team of 8 women and they also have female mechanics working on the cars.

In addition, they set up a play area for kids to have fun while mom shops. The dealership also welcomes male buyers as well. No discrimination here.
