SALT LAKE CITY -

When customers Don and Janine Edwards purchased a 2019 Honda Pilot from Larry H. Miller Dealerships’ Murray, Utah location on Jan. 28, they might not have known they were at the center of a company milestone.

The Pilot was the 2 millionth vehicle sold for Larry H. Miller Dealerships.

The company has come a long way since 1979, when Larry H. Miller began his career with a single automotive dealership in Murray. Since then, the company has grown to 63 dealership locations in seven Western states, selling 20 different automotive brands, with more than 5,000 employees.

The company sold its 1 millionth car in 2007. After purchasing the 2 millionth vehicle, Don and Janine Edwards received a $5,000 Visa gift card. Larry H. Miller Group of Companies owner and chairperson Gail Miller, Miller family members, and company management presented the award to the Edwards couple.

“In 1979, when we bought our first dealership, Larry and I could not have imagined selling 2 million cars, but today we are celebrating that milestone,” Gail Miller said in a news release. “We are grateful for the growth and success of our company and recognize the hard work and dedication of our employees and the continued support from our customers and the communities where we do business.”
