Chapelhouse has opened its new Kia dealership on Canal Street in St Helens.

The group has six multi-franchise locations in St Helens, Warrington and Southport representing seven franchises.

Chapelhouse has invested an undisclosed but “significant sum” in creating an additional four car showroom for the Kia franchise.

Chris Layton, group operations manager at Chapelhouse said: “We’ve been monitoring Kia’s continued growth.

“The continued demand for the Kia brand has made the opening of this dealership possible.”
