Unique was founded on June 1st, 2006 by Jeremy Thomas. The business that once started with only seven cars on the lot now always has around 150 vehicles in inventory. Our first showroom was located in Mankato, MN and was 15,000 sq ft. This was only the beginning!

Over the years with more employees and more inventory, we needed a change; a big one at that. As of March 2020, Unique has sold 4,000 cars and counting! From humble beginnings to now a thriving dealership that handles both local and worldwide business, Unique continues to be the full-service specialty & classic car dealership leader of the Midwest. Come Spring 2020, we were finally able to stretch our legs and move to our new home of 50,000 sq ft!
