Uncertainty surrounds the future of the Browns of Grimsargh site in the heart of the village in Preston Road after the dealership announced it was relocating.
Announcing the move on its Facebook page, managing director Roy Brown said: “We’re excited to announce that we’re moving to a new location from 1 April, 2025.”
Browns Mitsubishi will be moving to Lane Ends, Hothersall Lane, Longridge, and marks the end of an era in Grimsargh.

Roy added: “Other than the address, all our contact details will remain the same and we’ll continue to provide the great service you have come to expect.
“Forgive us in the short term as we work on the design, development and build of our exciting new premises. But don’t worry, you’ll see the same faces, just in a different place.”
It is currently unclear what will happen to the large site and whether its future involves retail or residential options. As it stands no planning applications have been lodged for the site although Blog Preston understands one will be imminent if a deal for the sale of the Browns plot goes through.
Browns of Grimsargh was approached for comment but did not respond by the time of publication.
