Non-Storefront Used Car Buying Franchise "Smile Cars" Opens 2 New Stores in March 2026, Expanding to 130 Locations Nationwide, Further Strengthening Community-Based Car Life Support

Smile Company Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture; Representative Director: Shunsuke Yamano; hereinafter, Smile Company) is pleased to announce that its non-storefront used car buying franchise, "Smile Cars," opened two new stores in March 2026. This expansion brings "Smile Cars" to a total of 130 locations nationwide, further expanding its service areas for community-based car life support.

"Smile Cars" is a "visit-type" used car buying service that operates without physical stores, with staff visiting customers' homes or designated locations directly. By reducing fixed costs associated with store operations, these savings are passed on to appraisal prices and service quality. The service has gained widespread support across Japan due to its speedy and sincere approach. With the opening of these new stores, even faster on-site visits will be possible, enabling the provision of meticulous services tailored to the needs of each region.

Moving forward, Smile Company will continue to strive for franchise expansion and service quality improvement, acting as a partner that supports each customer considering selling their car, ensuring a secure and satisfactory car life.
