“We are pleased to announce the expansion of EchoPark into Oklahoma”
The Tulsa Delivery Center is EchoPark’s first location in the state of Oklahoma, and 40th location to date. It follows the recent openings of its new retail hub in St. Louis, Missouri and delivery center in Columbus, Georgia. Oklahoma expands EchoPark into 21 states and continues the brand’s expansion toward a nationwide distribution network that is expected to reach 90 percent of the U.S. population by 2025.
“We are pleased to announce the expansion of EchoPark into Oklahoma,” said David Smith, CEO of Sonic Automotive. “Our teammates are excited to provide residents in Tulsa and the surrounding area with a wide selection of high quality pre-owned vehicles supported by our world-class guest experience which delivers on our brand promise of ‘Every Car, Happy Owner.’ It’s not just a tagline, our mission is in our name and it’s what we do.”
Delivery Centers and Retail Hubs are part of EchoPark’s exclusive model that caters to the growing number of consumers who want to start their pre-owned automotive shopping experience online, but complete their purchase in-person at a dealership. The brand’s new exclusive website allows for any car to be sold to anyone, anywhere, while expansion of new locations allows EchoPark to be a trusted source for consumers to take delivery in their neighborhood.
Regardless of location, EchoPark’s success has come from its award-winning guest experience that is grounded in the mission of creating Happy Owners. This effort has generated over 50,000 5-Star ratings and reviews, with EchoPark earning the highest consumer review ratings and receiving the highest in consumer sentiment within the categories of Pricing and Customer Service and Sales amongst all major competitors within the segment.
