West Virginia Honda dealer trying to block new franchise

CHARLESTON - The owner of a South Charleston Honda dealership is trying to keep American Honda from opening a new franchise in the same area.

Raines Imports, Inc., doing business as Lester Raines Honda, filed a lawsuit July 20 in Kanawha Circuit Court against American Honda.

Raines says he received a letter May 24 from American Honda stating it intended to start a new Honda dealership in the South Charleston area. He adds that he responded with a letter expressing his objection.

Since he has not heard anything back from American Honda, he says he filed the lawsuit seeking a declaration prohibiting American Honda from opening a new dealership.
