RICHMOND, Virginia, 2016-Oct-03 — /EPR Retail News/ — CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, is celebrating the grand opening of its new store in Maple Shade, located at 531 Route 38 West. The addition of the Maple Shade store marks the fourth CarMax location in the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area. The store will stock more than 300 used vehicles of nearly every make and model and has brought approximately 40 new jobs to the area.
In celebration of the Maple Shade store opening, CarMax donated $5,000 to Hopeworks ‘N Camden. Maple Shade CarMax associates selected this nonprofit for its mission to work with youth in the community and help students develop a plan for education and a brighter future.
The CarMax Foundation is also providing a $10,000 grant to the Boys & Girls Club of Camden County. Funding from the grant will help support tutoring and wellness programs for more than 900 youth in the area. Support for this organization also came at the recommendation of Maple Shade associates.
“CarMax greatly supports the communities where our associates live and work,” said Yammir Carbonell, location general manager of the Maple Shade store. “We are very excited to be growing in the Philadelphia area and bringing the simple and stress-free CarMax experience to customers in Maple Shade.”
