Sainsbury's plan to build We Buy Any Car pod at one of its Richmond stores
An application has been submitted to Richmond Council from Sainsbury's to bring a new retail pod to its branch in Lower Richmond Road.
The pod will be for the use of We Buy Any Car (WBAC) and will be constructed as a modular structure that will be built off-site and then placed inside Sainsbury's car park.
WBAC is a UK-based car-buying service that sell used vehicles.
Sainsbury's note the installation of the pod will result in the loss of three parking spaces at the store.
In its application, the supermarket chain say: "It will comprise a customer service counter and waiting area, and staff working areas.
"It will operate as a kiosk where either an appointment for the valuation of a car is booked or speculatively decided on site.
"The cars are subsequently appraised on site, a price agreed, and paperwork filled out.
Sainsbury's expect the WBAC pods to bring, on average, 12 cars a week to the supermarket.
The pods with WBAC are a concept that Sainsbury's has introduced at many of its stores across the country.
Sainsbury's add: "The introduction of the pod is as a result of the considerable time and effort taken by Sainsbury's to understand the type of services their customers require when they shop."
