International used car chain Carstore opens a mega showroom in Vantaa, Finland
Helsinki, March 13, 2025 – Carstore, a specialist in used cars and part of Hedin Mobility Group, is opening the largest showroom in its chain today at Vantaa’s Retail Park. Carstore has previously operated in Helsinki's Konala district and Tampere. The new Vantaa mega showroom features modern indoor facilities that can accommodate over 250 vehicles. Moving forward, Carstore will centralise its operations in the Helsinki metropolitan area at this new location.
The used car market is expected to continue growing this year, with many players making significant investments in the sector. Established in 2024, Carstore is strengthening its position in Finland by opening a store that is significantly larger than its existing locations. Carstore offers a wide selection of inspected used cars from various brands, ranging from compact city cars to high-performance SUVs. In addition to Finland, Carstore operates in Sweden, Norway, and Slovakia.
Carstore Finland is led by Country Manager Gzim Hasani, responsible for establishing Carstore Finland an opening two Carstore locations in 2024. Following the strong reception of these stores, the company began searching for a larger retail space in the capital region to support its expansion.
"With the new Carstore Vantaa mega showroom, we can finally operate on a much larger scale in the used car market. Finding the right location – both in terms of space and accessibility – was key to this move. Antaksentie is a prime location for the automotive industry, home to Hedin Automotive's BMW dealership along with several other established dealerships. Being near competitors is a great advantage, as it attracts used car buyers to the area. Additionally, having Hedin Automotive BMW’s service center on-site improves efficiency for both businesses." says Gzim Hasani.

"We anticipate that Finland’s used car market will continue to grow this year, driven particularly by the import of used vehicles. At Carstore, this suits us perfectly, as our European-wide chain is designed to offer customers the most suitable used cars in each country. We hope that within our wide selection, you’ll always find something unique and perfect for you," says Peter Lampret, CEO of Carstore.
