Plot hole: It makes no sense that Martin would be getting the invitation to the reunion mailed to his office (or to anywhere else.) He's had zero contact with the alumni committee, and they're not going to hire a private detective to find him. He also doesn't have contact with anyone else from his hometown who might have forwarded it; his father's dead, and his mother's not in her right mind. There's no explanation for why it would have ended up there except for needing to set the plot in motion.
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
1 plot hole
Directed by: George Armitage
Starring: John Cusack, Dan Aykroyd, Joan Cusack, Minnie Driver
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Blank goes into the DJ booth to talk to his high school girlfriend, every time the camera goes back and forth to her, her necklace is twisted and then untwisted.
Debi Newberry: You're a psychopath.
Martin Blank: No, no. Psychopaths kill for no reason. I kill for money. It's a job... That didn't come out right.
Trivia: The "goon" who winds up fighting John Cusack in the school hallway is Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. He is not only a world-class kickboxer but has also been John Cusack's real-life kickboxing coach for many years.

Answer: Given that Blank and Grocer both drive identical black Lincoln Town Cars throughout the film for some reason, that would be a reasonable assumption that they would also hire the same car model wherever they go.
