STATESVILLE, N.C. -

Vroom said Wednesday it has launched an “Extended Mile” hub in Statesville, N.C., which is just over 40 miles from Charlotte.

This Statesville hub is designed to offer “a more customized driveway experience” for more than 2.6 million people in the state

This hub has storage capacity of up to 1,000 vehicles, making it one of Vroom’s largest. Extended Mile delivery service centers can transport cars to consumers up to 300 miles away.

The company explains that the Extended Mile hubs are similar to its Last Mile hubs, with more of a reach.

Vroom has launched more than 30 Last Mile hubs and has more planned.

“The Extended Mile program is the next tier of growth for Vroom’s customer delivery and pickup experience, and the company plans to launch it in more locations in the coming months,” the company said in a news release.

Mary Kay Wegner is chief logistics officer at Vroom and leads the Last Mile and Extended Mile hub expansion.

“After successfully opening dozens of Last Mile hubs across the country, we’re excited to be leveling up to the next phase of concierge service with our new Extended Mile offering,” Wegner said.

“Statesville has been an important market for Vroom for years, and we’re proud to be part of the recent wave of tech companies that are expanding their presences in North Carolina, specifically near Charlotte.”
