AutoDepot Opens Israel's Largest Concept Store in Haifa with 5M Shekel Investment
AutoDepot launched its largest concept store in Haifa with a 5 million shekel investment. The store combines automotive retail, workshop services, and a new drift racing team partnership.
AutoDepot is expanding its operations with the launch of a new concept store at the Hutsot HaMifratz mall in Haifa, featuring an investment of 5 million shekels. Spanning approximately 1,100 square meters, the new branch is the largest of its kind in Israel and combines automotive product retail with professional services, maintenance, and on-site installations.
The store's design draws inspiration from the world of motorsports, incorporating racing aesthetics into its graphic language, display areas, and service zones. This new concept aims to bridge the gap between shopping experiences and the automotive racing world by offering a comprehensive range of products and services under one roof.
Comprehensive Services and Racing Team
Customers can find tires, car accessories, maintenance products, safety solutions, multimedia systems, interior and exterior accessories, and travel gear. In addition to retail spaces, the facility includes dedicated workshop bays for servicing, repairs, and installations, allowing motorists to handle multiple car care needs during a single visit.
Simultaneously, AutoDepot is launching the AUTODEPOT RACING TEAM BY PIT STOP drift racing team in collaboration with Pit Stop. The company's professionals will provide the racing team with technical support, installations, and tire changes, embodying values of professionalism and reliability.
Acquisition and Leadership
The grand opening event is scheduled for Friday, October 16, at Hutsot HaMifratz, featuring the racing team drivers and their vehicles. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the drivers, inspect the racing cars up close, and explore AutoDepot's automotive accessories and maintenance solutions.
"The opening of the new branch is designed to expand the service and retail experience in the automotive sector, combining a diverse range of products with professionalism and reliability," said Itzik Ozana, CEO of Multi Retail Group.
This expansion follows the acquisition of Multi Retail Group by businessman Ronen Ganon, head of the Ganon Group and owner of the Zol Stock chain. In August, Ganon signed an agreement to acquire a controlling stake in Multi Retail Group—which operates ACE, AutoDepot, Betily, and Urban—for 173 million shekels, valuing the company at approximately 238 million shekels.
