Editor’s note: Rep. Don Beyer sold his stake in Beyer Automotive Group last year and is no longer a co-owner of Beyer Automotive Group. This story has been updated. 

Beyer Automotive Group will relocate its 22-year-old Land Rover dealership on Duke Street in Alexandria to a new dealership in Fairfax County, Virginia.

The new dealership will sit at 5636 S. Van Dorn St. in Fairfax County just inside the Capital Beltway, outside of the City Alexandria.

The group will add Jaguar to the dealership.

Chesapeake Contracting has begun construction on the 50,000-square-foot, two-story building on six acres. It will include a 14-car showroom, 25 service bays and an upscale interior.

It will open in early 2022.

Beyer said it has outgrown its current location.

“Currently, we sell over 100 luxury vehicles each month and we could sell more if we had the space,” said John Altman, COO of Beyer Automotive Group. “Our new facility will also allow us to add the iconic Jaguar brand to our sales and service offering.”

It will be the largest Jaguar Land Rover dealership in the Mid-Atlantic.

Falls Church, Virginia-based Beyer Automotive Group currently owns eight dealerships in Northern Virginia, selling Subaru, Kia, Volvo, Volkswagen, Mazda and Land Rover vehicles. It also carries a large inventory of used vehicles.

Virginia Rep. Don Beyer, and his brother Mike, purchased a Volvo dealership from their father, Donald Beyer, Sr., in 1986, forming Beyer Automotive Group. Don Beyer sold his stake in the business to his brother in 2019.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
