Carvana expands its reach to Nebraska, passes 300-market milestone
Carvana announced both its entry into Nebraska and a new milestone on Wednesday: surpassing 300 overall markets.
The used-car ecommerce platform is now available in Omaha (its 300th market) and Lincoln (No. 301).
“It feels like not so long ago that we launched our first market and set out to change the way people buy and sell cars,” Carvana founder and chief executive Ernie Garcia said in a news release announcing the expansion to Omaha.
“Just nine years later, our debut in Nebraska marks an important milestone for us, as we bring a great selection of cars, at great prices, with great customer service to our 300th market,” he said.
In the release regarding opening up in Lincoln, which was also announced Wednesday, Garcia said: ““Providing as-soon-as-next-day delivery to Lincoln unlocks a national inventory of great vehicles, at great prices, with great customer service, to our second market in the Husker State.
“We look forward to serving the Lincoln community with an easy, transparent car buying and selling experience.”
The expansion into Nebraska marks the first new markets announced by Carvana since late June, when it debuted in Wichita, Kan., its fifth market in Kansas.
Carvana is set to announce its second-quarter results on Thursday.
