BRIDGETON, Mo. At All-Star Dodge in Bridgeton, co-owner Justin Akin likes to say he doesn t sell cars to people, he sells dreams. And it s a lot of fun seeing that smile on their face when they re taking delivery, Akin said.
But at this dealership, in addition to test drives, you ll often find blood drives and bone marrow drives. Where we know of at least five people who ve gotten that call that they were a match to go donate their bone marrow to save someone s life, explained Akin.
