LKQ Corp., a Chicago-based auto part recycler and aftermarket sales company, is expanding its presence in Leominster with a $500,000 purchase of an adjacent 2.5-acre lot.

The sale, finalized on June 14, saw LKQ purchase the lot from Prince River Mill LLC, a Hardwick-based entity, according to Worcester Northern Registry of Deeds records. The vacant, unnumbered parcel on Patriot Circle in the Jytec Industrial Park was given a tax assessment value of $105,900 in 2024, according to City of Leominster property records.
