MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ABRA Auto Body & Glass, a Minneapolis-based damaged vehicle repair company, announced today the opening of their newest franchise in Watertown, SD.

Doug Sharp, owner of Sharp Automotive, will continue as the owner/operator of ABRA-Watertown. "We have had a great team in place for quite some time," stated Sharp, "but we were lacking in some important areas. Among many other things, ABRA brings us a sophisticated management system, and on-going training for our team. We're all very proud to be a part of Team ABRA. "

ABRA-Watertown is located on West Hwy 212, and employs ten production and office staff members. General Manager Don Meyer joined Sharp's Automotive nine years ago, and was a machinist for 26 years prior.
