RICHMOND, Virginia , 2016-Jul-02 — /EPR Retail News/ — CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, officially opened its store in Westborough, MA, located at 170 Turnpike Road. The new store will stock more than 300 used vehicles of nearly every make and model, and has brought approximately 50 new jobs to the area.
In celebration of the Westborough store opening, CarMax donated $5,000 to the Worcester County Food Bank. Westborough CarMax associates selected this nonprofit for its mission to distribute approximately 5.8 million pounds of food to more than 130 partner agencies in Worcester County.
The CarMax Foundation is also providing a $10,000 grant to Community Harvest Project to support educational programs that engage youth at risk for hunger. This grant will serve more than 1,000 youth through the Community Harvest Project’s nutrition education programs – Sprouting Minds, Farm Camp and Kindergarten Initiative. This grant also came at the recommendation of Westborough CarMax associates.
“At CarMax, we truly care about the communities where our associates live and work,” said Dan Macias, location general manager of the Westborough CarMax. “We are excited to join this community and look forward to getting more involved locally.”
