About Korum Motors

Korum Automotive Group- Take a look back over almost the last 50 years and one thing in the Puyallup Valley landscape has not changed. The Korum name has been synonymous with cars and trucks. In 1956 Mel Korum founded a dealership with the intent to service the needs of a growing community, and 49 years later his son, Jerry Korum, and his team are still going strong. The Korum Automotive Group of Dealerships, located at the corners of River Road and Meridian in Puyallup, have seen a community go from a small rural town, to one of the most active and thriving spots in Western Washington, and through all the changes, continued to grow and be an active participant in the economic and social development of the community.

Korum Automotive Group Core Values.

Lead with vision and integrity.

Deliver the “Korum Experience” with compassion and respect.

Value and Invest in the Future.

Honor our Families, Customers, and Community.

Korum Automotive Group Core Purpose.

Create an ongoing environment dedicated to the growth and development of our families, customers and communities.

To complement his work with youth programs such as the Boys and Girls Club and DARE, Korum and his wife, Germaine, established the Korum for Kids Foundation in 1994 to improve the health, welfare and future of young people. The foundation, run by the Korums’ daughter, Sophia, donates about $250,000 each year to causes such as local endowment funds for children with learning disabilities and a school computer lab.

At the Korum Activity Center at Life Christian School and Academy, up to 800 minority young people in “The Super Club” have a place to gather to learn people and life skills, play sports, learn about nutrition and gain spiritual values. Korum is active at Tacoma’s Life Center Church and the YMCA, where he played a significant role in raising funds to build the Mel Korum Family YMCA dedicated to his father. At Pierce College, Korum is leading the effort to raise money for a child care facility and works with the PierceWorks! job skills program to train and support older people re-entering the workforce.
Korum’s good deeds do not go unnoticed.

Mr. Korum gives not only in monetary contributions, but in words, thoughts and deeds as he encourages students to believe in themselves as they dream and find their passion,” said Evelyn Brooks, Worker Retraining program coordinator for PierceWorks!

As for Korum, he is grateful for the chance to help. “I have had the opportunity and privilege to witness the results of our contributions to the many youth organizations and individuals in need,” he said. “I look forward to continuing my involvement with the community that has given so much to me.”
