Midtown Autowerks plans to relocate from Cooper-Young to 995 East Parkway S., near Liberty Park. The move will take the European-auto repair shop and dealership from its current site beside the Cooper-Young Trestle to a former Dollar Tree property.
The Daily Memphian reported that the move is planned for later in 2026 and that the business will own the new location rather than lease it. Midtown Autowerks currently leases a 5,734-square-foot building on 0.7 acres at 795 S. Cooper St.
A Former Dollar Tree Gets New Life
The new site previously housed a Dollar Tree. Midtown Autowerks bought the property at 995 East Parkway S. last year for $750,000, according to The Daily Memphian.
The report said owning the East Parkway property is expected to give Midtown Autowerks more room to expand its repair and dealership operations. The move will also end the business’s lease at its Cooper-Young location.
Development Around Liberty Park
The City of Memphis said construction on Liberty Park’s planned hotel and residential-retail projects was expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, with projected openings by early 2027, according to the City of Memphis.
What's Next for the Cooper-Young Space
The business has not announced an exact move date, renovation details or how much additional operating space the new site will provide. It remains at 795 S. Cooper St. as it prepares for the planned move later in 2026.
