The first LEPAS dealership in the UK has opened its doors to customers, marking the beginning of a rapid roll-out that will see the brand’s retail network grow to more than 60 outlets by the end of 2026.
Brindley LEPAS in Wolverhampton has opened for trading, occupying a prime location on West Street, close to Molineux Stadium in the heart of the city.
It pipped dozens of other dealerships to the honour of being the first to open its doors. Now a wave of other retail outlets will open across the UK in the coming months.
By the end of 2027, LEPAS is targeting more than 90 outlets nationwide, meaning the vast majority of the population will be no more than half an hour from their nearest retail and service centre.
Amongst the 60 showrooms already signed, several of the UK’s biggest dealer groups are in the process of opening multiple LEPAS sites. This includes Arnold Clark which will open seven LEPAS sites and Stoneacre which will open four. This level of investment underlines the confidence the industry has in the LEPAS brand and its product roadmap.
Ray Wang, Managing Director of LEPAS UK, said: “The opening of Bridley LEPAS in Wolverhampton represents a major milestone in our brand’s journey in this country. It’s been great to see the friendly competition taking place among our new retail partners as they all pulled out all the stops to try to be the first to open.
“Huge congratulations to the Brindley team who did an incredible job getting everything up and running in just eight weeks.”
The new Brindley LEPAS outlet boasts a stylishly-appointed six-car showroom, kitted out in LEPAS’ elegant global retail design identity. Out front there’s a forecourt with space for a further 15 cars.
The also boasts a full servicing and aftercare operation with dedicated LEPAS service bays and manufacturer trained technicians.
Sales Manager, Gavin Everton, said: “A huge amount of work went into getting the new dealership up and running and we’re really excited to be the first LEPAS outlet in the UK to open.”
He added: “Even before we opened the doors we had received a huge amount of interest in the new LEPAS L8 and had taken a number of pre-orders. But on opening day we were amazed by how many people walked in and placed orders. I believe we now top the charts for the most L8 PHEV pre-orders nationwide.”
