New showroom will let you create your very own car
ANEW purposebuilt MercedesBenz showroom is set to open in Stockport this summer where customers can create their own personalised cars.
The showroom will be the largest in Europe complete with industry-leading facilities.
LSH Auto UK, part of the Mercedes-Benz retail group, said Stockport ‘will reap the economic benefits of its ambitious plans’ which includes significant financial investment in the area while safeguarding and creating 55 new jobs.
LSH has regenerated the site off Brighton Road with a state-of-the art, purpose-built three-story facility, which will become the Mercedes-Benz hub for the Greater Manchester area.
Once complete, the 10.5-acre site on the side of the M60 will be a showcase for 140 vehicles, it will incorporate a dedicated AMG suite and display 100 approved used Mercedes Benz vehicles in a purpose built indoor showroom.
The site will also feature 30 workshop bays, plus dedicated configuration areas, allowing customers to create their personalised new car. It will also display the Mercedes Benz new electric range EQ.
Mercedes-Benz of Stockport will also add a new bistro and dedicated event facility - the first Mercedes-Benz showroom in the UK to offer this new hospitality concept – complete with dedicated hospitality manager.
The space will welcome customers for breakfast and lunch and can be hired for private events and meetings.
Surroundings will include green spaces such as the living green wall and water features.
John Stanton, general manager at MercedesBenz of Stockport, said: “The Mercedes-Benz of Stockport development is going to be a game changer for car retail as we know it.
“Due to its sheer scale, and customer offering - in terms of vehicles and world-class facilities - this site will be a completely new experience for returning and new customers alike.
“Stockport will also be the Mercedes-Benz hub of Manchester - giving impressive claim to the soon to open state-of-theart facility.
“We are creating a landmark destination, which is unparalleled to anything else in the area, offering customers and the general public an opportunity to experience MercedesBenz and LSH under one roof. We are also committed to sustainability in our design and operations. We are making wide-ranging environmental improvements to the area; firstly, with our regeneration of the former derelict site and the addition of the green spaces.
“The development also complies with the Government’s BREEAM environmental scheme.”
The site is due to open in July 2019.
