Car Buyers Within 300-Mile Radius Receive
Vroom’s Next Tier of More Personalized Delivery Service, Direct to
Their Driveways
Vroom, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRM), a leading ecommerce platform for
buying and selling used vehicles, today announced its new Extended
Mile hub in Statesville, North Carolina. Similar to Vroom’s Last
Mile hubs but with broader reach, the new Extended Mile hub
provides a more customized driveway experience for 2.6 million
people in more than 600 ZIP codes across North Carolina.
Vroom has delivered in the Statesville area since the company
was founded in 2012, but is now offering 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 Statesville Extended Mile hub is one of Vroom’s largest, having
the capacity to hold up to 1,000 vehicles. The Extended Mile
delivery service delivers to customers up to 300 miles away.
Following Vroom’s Last Mile hub’s success, Vroom began rolling
out more hubs across the country last year, with more than 30
launched so far and more coming soon. 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 Last Mile and Extended Mile hub expansion
efforts are led by Vroom’s Chief Logistics Officer Mary Kay
Wegner.
“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,” said
Wegner. “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.”
Vroom’s mission is to offer the best driveway experience
possible for both delivery and pickup. Car purchases by
Statesville-area Vroom customers increased by 244% year-over-year
from January 2021 to December 2021, and cars sold to Vroom by
Statesville-area consumers increased by 339% during that time. With
an emphasis on customer service, Vroom is taking a unique approach
by recruiting employees with hospitality and client service
experience for its hubs. Along with delivering thousands of
vehicles this year, the Extended Mile hub team has also helped
local customers celebrate big moments, including surprise birthday
and graduation deliveries.
Through its ecommerce platform and data-driven technology, Vroom
offers thousands of low-mileage, reconditioned vehicles with
delivery to consumers wherever they are in the U.S. It also
arranges financing through leading lenders and offers warranty and
other value-added products that provide convenience for customers.
In addition to providing a better way to buy a car, Vroom’s Sell Us
Your Car® offering allows customers who wish to sell or trade in
their vehicles to receive appraisals within minutes, attractive
market-based pricing, hassle-free loan payoffs and convenient
vehicle pickup.
