Used car supermarket organization Trade Center UK has closed one of its outlets as part of an ongoing plan to “increase sales”.
The Top Hundred car dealership demonstrated today (July 24) that its South Birmingham is no longer in operation, following a review.
Customers of the domain will now be directed to the company’s nearby “megastores” in the neighbouring areas of Wednesbury and Coventry.
The bosses also told Car Dealer that most of them have already been moved to the sites, which are less than an hour from the Birmingham South facility.
They added that a small number remained at the site, which is no longer operational, to “contribute to the final logistics of the store. “
Andy Coulthurst, chief executive of Trade Centre UK, told Car Dealer: “We can confirm that, as part of our plan to increase sales in the Midlands market area, we have moved our business from Birmingham South to our Wednesbury and Coventry megastores. The small format shop in Birmingham South is now closed.
Coulthurst says the latest move follows studies that found shoppers prefer the megastore format to smaller used-car supermarkets.
He added that no adjustments were planned to the company’s retail structure.
The CEO said: “Prior to those changes, knowledge already shows that our consumers are 50% more likely to buy a car from a store the size of Megastore, due to the much wider selection of stock, among thousands of cars on offer and top-notch retail premises.
Jack joined the car dealership team in 2021 as an editor. In the past, he worked as a journalist for a national newspaper of the BNPS news agency. He has provided news and reports on the engine for a number of national publications, including The Sun, The Times and The Daily Mirror.
