Community Partnership

A sense of togetherness with the community is extremely important to us. We appreciate all of those within our community who strive to make it better each day. That’s why the Fort Dodge family works hard to stay involved and show our appreciation for this wonderful community we get to call home!

Each year, it is our honor and pleasure to host an annual Thanksgiving meal to any and everyone who may want to join. In the most recent years, 2016 and 2017, we had Iowa Central Community College Culinary Arts out to pack delicious meals to be served and delivered as a thank you to our many volunteers and sponsors. This is one of our most treasured traditions and we are honored to have the opportunity to continue.

Some other ways we get involved, as a way to stay involved and give back to our community is reflective in our efforts to partner with Wheels for Work - United Way, Meals on Wheels and Bikes for Tykes.

Our History

We are very proud of our culture which largely comes from being a part of the Rydell Auto Group. The Rydell Auto Group was founded in 1954 and has grown into a group of 85 stores in 17 states! Our Founder, Leonard Rydell, had many strongly held business and personal philosophies that served him well. These philosophies, known as “Leonardism’s”, help guide us through our daily business and personal decisions. Some of our favorite “Leonardism’s” are…

“Never take advantage of a customer, even if you can.”
“Put yourself in a position to take care of as many people as possible.”
“Seek excellence, and the rest will follow.”

Rydell’s Philosophy

The Rydell philosophy is based on five key areas that we believe are critical to business success:

1. Customer Enthusiasm
2. Employee Satisfaction
3. Financial Performance
4. Market Effectiveness
5. Ongoing Improvement

Our philosophy holds that each area is of equal importance and we continually strive to reach a level of excellence in each area. However, in any planning or decision making process, or in any situation of seeming conflict or contradiction among the five critical areas, Customer Enthusiasm will always carry the most weight.
