TEMECULA, CA — Temecula seems to be a good location for Mercedes-Benz sales. Mercedes-Benz of Temecula surely thinks so, because the dealership is planning a large expansion.

During the June 18 Temecula Planning Commission meeting, commissioners will consider a development plan from Mercedes-Benz of Temecula for an approximately 48,846-square-foot Mercedes-Benz van dealership on a vacant lot at 40900 Temecula Center Drive. The lot is next to the existing Mercedes-Benz of Temecula dealership at 40910 Temecula Center Drive.
