Clutch Accelerates National Growth with Major West Coast Expansion and New Flagship Facility in B.C.

Richmond flagship marks a key milestone in Clutch’s national expansion, growing operations from coast to coast.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clutch, Canada’s fastest-growing online car retailer, has announced the opening of its first West Coast facility at 5400 Minoru Boulevard in Richmond, BC. The 30,500-square-foot location marks a significant milestone in Clutch’s national expansion and will support its rapidly growing vehicle acquisition operations across British Columbia.

This move also marks a return to familiar ground as Clutch previously operated out of this same facility between 2021 and 2023. The reopening comes at a pivotal time as Clutch continues to experience record-breaking growth, having recently surpassed $1 billion in vehicles purchased directly from Canadians. The company now buys over $3 million worth of vehicles every day, reinforcing its position as Canada’s leading online car retailer.

The new Richmond facility will serve as Clutch’s operational headquarters for British Columbia, powering its vehicle inspection and logistics capabilities throughout the province. It represents a key investment in the company’s vision to provide Canadians with a simpler, smarter way to buy and sell cars online from coast to coast.

“Opening this new facility in Richmond represents a major step forward in our vision for Clutch and a clear sign of how far we’ve come,” said Dan Park, CEO of Clutch. “Our goal has always been to make buying and selling vehicles simpler and more transparent for all Canadians, and this expansion brings us closer to delivering that promise from coast to coast.”

Richmond Facility Details Include:

• Logistics & Operations Hub: The space will serve as Clutch’s base for transportation, storage, and operational support across the Lower Mainland and beyond.
• Vehicle Evaluation & Certification: Every vehicle sold to Clutch undergoes a detailed 210-point inspection. Only the highest quality vehicles are selected for reconditioning, and those that meet Clutch’s strict national resale standards are awarded the Clutch Certified designation.
• Aggressive Hiring Plans: The facility is built to support a growing team of 1,000+ employees company-wide over the next 2 years.

Currently, B.C. residents can sell their car to Clutch entirely online, receive a fair instant offer, and choose either a convenient home pickup or drop off their vehicle at our new Richmond retail hub. This expansion paves the way for Clutch to bring its full end-to-end buying and selling experience to the province in the near future.
