RICHMOND, Va. -

Adding to sister hubs in Tampa and outside of Orlando on Merritt Island, CarLotz said it will soon open its third Florida hub.

The company’s co-founder and chief executive officer Michael Bor said its consignment model has been successful in the Sunshine State. 

“As CarLotz continues to expand across the Southeast, it’s really exciting to see three hubs in another state, like we have in Virginia,” Bor said in a news release.

Bor also said, “In some cases, we open hubs to reach a new market and in other cases to increase capacity, but with our Clearwater opening and the unique dynamics of the greater Tampa-St. Petersburg market, this hub helps us in both respects.

He went on to say, “It also goes to show that when our guests experience the benefits of our consignment model, which results in thousands more in value over the competition, the good news travels fast. We are grateful to our guests for spreading the word.”

The company said its Southeast expansion, along with its recent Illinois and California announcements, shows its commitment to its mission to create the world’s greatest vehicle buying and selling experience for consumers and commercial consigners.

CarLotz operates its full omnichannel offering out of hubs in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Texas and Washington State. It will soon open a California hub.

The new Florida hub will be located at 13525 US Highway 19 in Clearwater.

The company said it is hiring sales coaches, service techs, and managers, along with additional positions, at the new Clearwater location and several other U.S. locations.
