FARMINGTON, Mo. (December 12., 2022)— A new Byrider franchise store is now open in Farmington, Missouri.

This marks Byrider’s first dealership in Farmington and its sixth in Missouri. This is franchise owner Lawrence West‘s second Byrider dealership. The franchise group, LJR Investments, also operates the Byrider location in Rolla.
“We are very excited to be opening in the Farmington and St. Francois County area,” says West. “It has been in the works and planned for over five years. The entire team is excited about our new employees, the location, and the community. We can’t wait to meet our future customers and introduce Byrider to a great market.”
