A new Kia dealership is under construction in Round Rock with the goal of bringing a service facility and car lot closer to local and prospective automobile owners.

Round Rock Kia will be located on the northbound I-35 frontage road near Central Texas Harley-Davidson—Round Rock and will be managed by Ali Khan, who has worked with Kia for more than 10 years. Khan said the facility will make maintenance for car owners in the Round Rock area easier.

"You have Capital Kia which is ... northwest, and you've got South Point, which is down south, so for everyone that lives in Round Rock, Hutto, Georgetown, all that area, they have to drive quite a way to get their vehicles serviced," Khan said Jan. 28. "We're just excited about having a point in [the Round Rock] area."

Khan said he believes the business will do well because of Round Rock's continued growth.

"As you know, that area is growing considerably," he said. "Round Rock is a booming town."

Khan said the dealership is slated to open in May or June. For more information, visit www.roundrockkia.com.
