ROGERS, Ark. -

America’s Car-Mart recently marked the opening of its 150th dealership in one of the largest markets in Tennessee.

On the last sales day of July, the chain of buy-here, pay-here dealerships began retail operations in Chattanooga, Tenn. The location is Car-Mart’s seventh dealership in Tennessee and the second store opening of its 2021 fiscal year.

The company said the dealership will be managed by Char Green with the assistance of Heather Horne. This will be the second dealership managed by Green as Car-Mart indicated it’s looking to expand the number of customers served by top-performing general managers.

“A great deal of thought and foresight is placed on our decisions about where to grow. We select communities where we believe we can fill a void when it comes to what we offer at Car-Mart,” president and chief executive officer Jeff Williams said in a news release.

“We’re different from traditional dealerships. In addition to providing quality used vehicles, we also provide financing and exceptional service after the sale,” Williams continued. “We are committed to providing peace of mind for our customers and we believe communities are better when we are there.”

This Chattanooga dealership is located at 5701 Ringgold Road.

“We’re excited about joining the Chattanooga community. It’s a growing area with a lot of potential,” Green said.

“At Car-Mart, we offer a unique buying process for our customers where it’s not just a purchase, but an experience,” she went on to say. “We get to know our customers and work closely with them on flexible financing that meets their needs and budgets.”
