Company Celebrates with Community Donations
RICHMOND, Va. (April 6, 2015) – CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, officially opened its first store in Turnersville, New Jersey, located at 620 Cross Keys Road. The store is more than 40,000 square-feet, occupies more than 16 acres and stocks more than 300 used vehicles.
In celebration of the Turnersville store opening, CarMax donated $5,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Camden County. The nonprofit was selected for its positive impact on children in the local community. In addition, 25 CarMax volunteers recently helped with the organization’s Bowl for Club Kids fundraiser.
“I am very excited to welcome CarMax to Winslow Township and am pleased they have chosen our community for their first store in New Jersey,” said Barry Wright, Winslow Township mayor. “Not only does CarMax give residents great job opportunities, they also provide a high-quality car buying experience. The new location will serve the needs of this community as well as all of South Jersey.”
The CarMax Foundation also is providing a $10,000 grant to Hopeworks ‘N Camden for a project that will help provide teens and young adults the basic life skills and technical training to prepare them to excel both educationally and professionally. This grant came at the recommendation of local CarMax associates. The CarMax Foundation has granted more than $25 million on behalf of associates across the country since 2003.
“We cannot wait to show the Turnersville area everything that CarMax has to offer,” said Jeff Jackson, location general manager of the CarMax Turnersville store. “We take pride in being a positive part of the community and strive to provide a unique car buying experience.”
