Kerr’s Tyres Group opens new automotive superstore in Coleraine

Kerr’s Tyres Group has opened a new automotive superstore in Coleraine, Co Derry, saying this “strategic move” will further strengthen its position in the automotive repair and tyre industry.

This superstore is the group’s second in Ireland with its first opening in Antrim in 2019. The new opening will take the group to 26 points of sale across Ireland.

According to Kerr’s Tyres Group, the new Coleraine superstore will enable the company to broaden its product offering with dedicated electric vehicle, 4X4 SUV, hi-performance and motorcycle bays for customers.

It says it will also further enhance its distribution network and leverage synergies to provide even greater value to customers.

The new Coleraine site will employ 20 staff in phase one for the 16 automotive bays and up to a further 10 positions should the need demand it.

Geoff Johnston, group retail manager of Kerr’s Tyres Group said: “We are excited to announce this opening, a move that aligns with our long-term growth strategy of operating 35 points of sale by 2026.

“This opening not only expands our product portfolio into EV and motorcycle tyres but also reinforces our dedication to providing exceptional quality and service to our valued customers.”
