Mariano Rivera Wants To Open Car Dealership on Long Island

Yankees legend Mariano Rivera is planning on opening a car dealership on Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station.

Rivera, baseball's first unanimous hall of famer, and his business partners want to buy an existing car store and rename it Mariano Rivera Honda.

Rivera's lawyer told Newsday he expects the all-time saves leader to appear before the Town of Brookhaven board to help sell the project.

The store Rivera and his partners want to buy is currently the North Shore Certified car dealership at 1435 Route 112.

The store, which is 6,425 square feet, sits on an 8.1-acre site, according to site plans.

Rivera's proposal would expand the building by over 30 percent and build a new 50,000-square-foot facility and storage for 353 vehicles.
