Auto Depot has launched its largest concept store in Israel, located in Chutzot HaMifratz. The expansive 1,100 square meter store, built with an investment of 5 million shekels, is designed to resemble a race track and combines a large retail space for car products with on-site service bays for maintenance and installations. The concept aims to allow drivers to address all their vehicle needs in a single visit, offering tires, interior and exterior accessories, care products, safety solutions, multimedia systems, and travel equipment, with installation services available on-site.

The strategic location in Chutzot HaMifratz, a major junction in the Haifa Bay area, was a key factor in the decision, providing easy access for drivers from Haifa, the Krayot, and the Valleys. Itzik Ozana, CEO of the Multi Retail Group which owns Auto Depot, stated that the location was chosen based on the needs of drivers in the northern region, emphasizing the complex's accessibility.

The store's design, from its graphics to its display and service areas, draws inspiration from motorsports. Auto Depot aims to infuse the shopping experience with the excitement and pace of a race track, transforming a routine car store visit into a unique event. Ozana described the opening as more than just a new branch, but a step forward in the vehicle experience.

In conjunction with the store opening, Auto Depot is launching a drift racing team, AUTODEPOT RACING TEAM BY PIT STOP, in partnership with Pit Stop. The team's professional staff will support the drivers in competitions, providing real-time installations and tire changes. Ozana highlighted that professionalism, precision, and reliability, values crucial in competitive racing, are also central to the chain's customer service.

The launch event is scheduled for Friday, October 16, at Chutzot HaMifratz, featuring the racing team and their cars. Chaim Horesh, CEO of Chutzot HaMifratz, noted that the complex offers a distinctive and engaging experience by integrating vehicles, services, and the world of racing, providing an additional destination for car needs and a rare opportunity for motorsports enthusiasts to see drift cars up close.
