TAMPA, Fla. -

Within days of boosting its retail portfolio by acquiring a pair of Nissan stores in California, HGreg.com turned its focus solely back on used vehicles Monday when it opened its newest storefront in the Tampa, Fla., market.

Situated on a 10-acre property in Hillsborough County, the site in Brandon features a 42,000-square-foot storefront and fulfillment center to go with inventory of more than 1,000 pre-owned vehicles.

HGreg recapped in a news release that it officially purchased the property on March 16 and invested more than $30 million to transform the showroom to its spacious and modern style and layout.

The company also said it is in the final stages of hiring and training a team of 100 full and part-time associates while anticipating the need to fill future positions.

“Tampa is a wonderful gateway to the West Coast of Florida and springboard for our growth plans,” HGreg president and chief executive officer John Hairabedian said in the news release.

“We’re happy to expand our team in the region and to make this property a key part of our plans for servicing our customers up and down the coast — and beyond — through a combination of in-store experience, when convenient, and the digital experience,” Hairabedian continued.

As part of its culture, HGreg reiterated that it offers a concierge-like customer experience that includes same-day delivery, contactless purchasing, payment by bitcoin and a generous customer satisfaction guarantee on every vehicle in the company’s inventory that has passed a rigorous inspection program.

Having had a presence in Florida since 2009, HGreg now owns and operates a network of nine dealerships in the Sunshine State — two franchised stores and seven pre-owned dealerships including HGreg Lux, which focuses on luxury pre-owned vehicles.

“We opened in Florida more than 10 years ago and the growth has been strong,” Hairabedian said. “Customers from across the state have appreciated our customer-first culture, inventory of cars, commitment to technology and the online purchase experience.

“We’re excited at our future in the region and will do everything we can to help customers save more and drive happier,” he went on to say.
