NK Motors is re-opening its Long Eaton showroom on Tamworth Road this April, 25 years after NK Group chairman Nindy Kumar purchased the site.
Since 2014, the showroom had been leased to Pidcock Motorcycles. However, NK Motors MD Sanj Kumar is ready to return to the site where he began his career as a car salesman after getting the keys back in November 2024.
Kumar said: “It’s a great feeling for me personally to see the site I began my career at 25 years ago coming back into use as our latest car showroom.
“Since those days, when we were selling 60 cars a month, we’ve grown from a small family business into a huge dealership, particularly through our partnership with Kia.
“Having outgrown the Long Eaton site back in 2014, we’re so looking forward to bringing it back to its former glory as a centre for used cars. The new staff are all ready and raring to go, currently undergoing some intense training at our other sites in Pride Park and Chilwell.”
The Long Eaton business, ‘NK Motors – The Used Car Centre’, will re-open following a £100,000 investment in refurbishment and repairs. This will allow the site to provide additional stock capacity for 80 used vehicles, with plans for an overflow showroom for 40 additional cars at another Long Eaton site owned by the group.
NK Motors – The Used Car Centre will stock cars ranging from £5,000 to £50,000 in value.
The NK group is offering above-market prices to sellers in order to build up stock in time for opening.
