I.A. Årsredovisning 2020 ENG 1
Car Store is a new company and concept within the
Hedin Bil Group, which during the year opened three facilities in Malmö, Stockholm Kungens Kurva and Stockholm Täby. The business sells used cars, and does not hold a spare parts department or workshop. Car Store differs from the usual pre owned sales within Hedin Bil (Hedin Certified), where a Hedin Certified car is packaged to the customer and warranty, insurance, transport, etc. are included in the deal. At Car Store, the customer gets to choose which additional products they want to add. In January, Car Store took over Opel Täby and opened the first Car Store facility. Sales have been good in Täby and the year ended with 497 cars sold and a new target is set at 700 cars for 2021. The sales in Täby grew rapidly, and Hedin Malmö Transportbilscenter was converted into Car Store. In November, Car Store took over the two upper floors of Dodge store in Kungens Kurva and thus became the Hedin group's first "in house" facility where we have two companies under the same roof. Car Store works closely with the Hedin Certified team for vehicle valuations, car purchases, etc. During the year, work began on our very own website that would be quick and easy with a good design. This was launched in October. The website is based on an e-commerce platform where we aim to be able to sell cars online as early as 2021. Hedin IT within Hedin Group has developed this new platform and the website will continuously receive new updates and further development will take place. I.A.
