Motorpoint is to open its 21st retail store on the former CarStore site in Norwich.
Set to open in mid-December, Motorpoint Norwich will strengthen the used car retailer’s presence in the East of England and follows the opening of its Ipswich store in May 2023.
The new store will be able to accommodate over 220 nearly new and used cars.
As part of Motorpoint’s multi-million-pound investment in the region, the new Norwich store will create 25 new jobs.
Mark Carpenter, Motorpoint Group CEO, said: “We’re excited to be expanding our retail network and opening our 21st store this December.
“As the car buyers’ champion, we’re proud to offer our customers an unrivalled choice of vehicles at unbeatable prices and can’t wait to give even more motorists the chance to find their next car with Motorpoint.
“With the success of our Ipswich and Peterborough stores, we knew we wanted to expand our presence in East Anglia, so bringing the Motorpoint brand to Norwich was an obvious choice.
“Once the store opens, we’ll have fantastic coverage in the region – meaning car buyers across the East of England will be within easy driving distance of a Motorpoint store.
The announcement follows a solid first half of the year for Motorpoint, with the used car retailer announcing a 17% increase in sales volumes and pre-tax profit of around £2 million for the six months ending on September 30.
