Premier Car Supermarket looks poised to expand into Kettering after completing the acquisition of a 3.55-acre site giving it “access to thousands, if not millions of potential customers”.

The Leicester-based premium used car retail operation, which has PCM and BCM dealership locations in Derby and Leicester, has completed the purchase of the development site off the busy A43 at its junction with the A14 at Junction 8.

Founded 12 years ago, the business added its largest site to date, in Derby, last year and is now looking forward to further expansion.

Premier Car Supermarket chief executive, Neil Chapman, said: “We are delighted to announce our intention to bring this growing brand to a new store in Kettering, and proud to be generating a number of new jobs and exciting new business opportunities for the town and surrounding areas.

“The new site is in a great location and gives us access to thousands, if not millions of potential customers within a specific drive time radius. 

“Car buyers will now have better access to our convenient, friendly and guided buying experience and hundreds of cars across the Midlands.”

Premier Car Supermarket's new dealership location is adjacent to a new 1,800sq -ft drive-thru Costa coffee outlet at the entrance to the recently constructed 270,000sq-ft Cransley Park industrial warehouse development which was speculatively built by St Francis Group and the Richardson Family.

The land was purchased from TansorZiran, represented by Prop Search and Berrys; and Premier Car Supermarkets represented by Tolmers Property Services.
