MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. -

Credit Acceptance founder Don Foss created his own dealership group 10 years ago.

And now a decade later, that operation — CARite — has 26 locations with the two newest ones coming into the group this week.

According to a news release, CARite added locations in Stratford, Conn., its second lot in the state, as well as Ann Arbor, Mich., raising the total within the group’s home state to 13.

“We’re thrilled to expand our presence in these communities and bring outstanding value and savings to families in Stratford and Ann Arbor,” CARite chief executive officer Jeff Bartlett said in the news release. “CARite brings a fresh approach to the car buying experience with a no-haggle sales process and no sales commission.”

CARite also said it plans to grow its network further, with five additional locations currently slated to open later this year.
