Vroom adds hub in Seattle
Vroom has added another hub, this time in the Pacific Northwest.
While it has delivered vehicles to the area since its 2012 founding, the company’s Seattle Last Mile hub, located in Kent, Wash., is designed to provide “an experience that includes a more personalized concierge service where customer advocates transport cars directly to car buyers’ driveways on Vroom-branded trucks and show them how to use their new vehicles.”
The hub offers the service to nearly 5.3 million customers within a 25-mile radius.
Vroom has seen significant growth in the Seattle area, with sales to customers there up 87% between 2020 and 2021 and vehicles purchased from area customers climbing 325%.
“With our valued customers in mind, creating a more personalized driveway experience and rolling out more local hubs across the country has been a priority for us at Vroom and we’re excited to launch this offering in Seattle, a city known for car transportation,” Vroom chief logistics officer Mary Kay Wegner said in a news release.
“As we prioritize expanding the Last Mile experience nationwide, we’ll continue to grow and invest in our senior logistics team to support these efforts.”
Vroom opened a hub in Atlanta late last month, and has also recently added hubs in Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit and Dallas.
