Kent Ritchey, president of the Greater Memphis Area Auto Dealers Association talks about Moore Tech's new automotive repair facility, built in a partnership with local auto dealerships who are seeing an impending shortage in labor for mechanic positions, while celebrating their opening on Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019. Ritchey is president of Landers Auto Group, which is acquiring two Covington dealerships.

Landers Auto Group announced Tuesday the acquisition of two car dealerships in Covington — King Cotton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and King Cotton Ford.

King Cotton Ford, 965 U.S. 51 North, will be renamed Landers Ford North. This will be the third Landers Ford dealership in the region, according to a news release. The original Landers Ford has operated in Memphis since 1983 and is regularly the No. 1 volume Ford dealership in the Mid-South.
