Virginia Tire & Auto's latest store - a retail location in Haymarket, Va. - is under construction and will open in July.

The store, which will be the McLean, Va.-based dealership's 15th location in Virginia, will have 12 service bays and will span 8,000 square feet, the same footprint as the company's Leesburg, Va., outlet, which opened five years ago.

"We are excited about this new store— our first since 2021," Julie Holmes, co-CEO of Virginia Tire & Auto, along with her husband, co-CEO Mike Holmes, told MTD.

Virginia Tire & Auto is one of the largest independent tire dealerships in the United States, according to the 2025 MTD 100.
