From clicks to bricks, Cinch heads to the High Street with its first four stores

Used car marketplace Cinch is to get physical with the launch of an in-person store retail strategy after selling more than 200,000 cars online.

Cinch was launched back in July 2019 as a rival to Auto Trader, offering car retailers another online marketing platform on which to promote their stock for sale.

It then went on to retail its own stock which triggered anger and debate across the sector with what was branded a “below the radar” launch of a direct-to-consumer car retail offering promising home delivery and a 14-day money back guarantee.

Cinch which is backed by Constellation Automotive Group that operates automotive brands, including WeBuyAnyCar, BCA, cinch, and Marshall Motor Group, will now launch its first stores in Northampton, Birmingham, Bristol, and Manchester during July and August, with additional locations planned for later in the year.

These new stores will feature a wide range of used cars from Cinch’s stock of over 5,000 vehicles with visitors able to ‘see, touch, and test drive’ cars, and receive helps from an in-store team called the Cinch Squad.
