ATLANTA and MINNEAPOLIS (April X, 2019) – Caffeine and Octane, the global media brand and host of the nation’s largest monthly car showcase, is hitting the road to bring its monthly event to Minneapolis, Minnesota. In partnership with Garage Lifestyle Inc, owner of AutoMotorPlex Brands, the new Caffeine and Octane showcases will take place at the AutoMotorPlex Campus the second Saturday of each month, April through November.
The Minnesota expansion compliments the brand’s popular lineup of automotive showcases, which include the quarterly Caffeine and Exotics that takes place in Atlanta and the annual destination Caffeine and Octane at the Beach event.

In its 13th year, it has grown to attract more than 20,000 guests and 3,000 vehicles each month. In addition to expanding its footprint, Caffeine and Octane will use the new location to capture unique interviews and footage for its globally-syndicated television show, which airs on NBC Sports Network.
“After visiting the AutoMotorPlex I was blown away by the extraordinary garages and the passionate automotive enthusiasts’ community. A limited brand expansion has always been a plan of mine, and I instantly felt this was the perfect place when I arrived,” shares Bruce Piefke, CEO of Caffeine and Octane. “We’re excited to partner with The AutoMotorPlex to introduce the event to Caffeine and Octane fans in the area as well as have a new location to film compelling content for season four of the Caffeine and Octane TV show.”

The company’s newest location, in Medina, Minnesota, features 180 unique private garages surrounding a central 4-acre green space specifically designed to host the Caffeine and Octane showcases.
“We have an incredible automotive community across Minnesota and are eager to introduce it to the Caffeine and Octane fanbase through the events and TV show,” says Bruno Silikowski, founder of the AutoMotorPlex. “The synergy amongst the two brands is strong, with complementary businesses.
