CARY, N.C. -

America’s Car-Mart chief financial officer Vickie Judy appearance on the Auto Remarketing Podcast coincided with the company that has a network of 151 buy-here, pay-here dealerships celebrating another achievement.

In the midst of celebrating its 40th anniversary, Car-Mart also was recently named to Forbes’ 2021 list of America’s Best Small Companies.

The companies comprising the Best Small Companies list were chosen by Forbes based on a market value between $300 million and $2 billion, positive sales growth during the past 12 months and a share price of at least $5.

According to a news release the rankings are based on earnings growth and sales growth for the latest 12 months and over five years, one-year and five-year return on equity and 52-week total return. More weight was given to the latest-12 month and one-year data in the ranking.

All data used was as of Nov. 25, 2020. 

“We are honored to be named one of America’s best small companies. It is our dedication to customer experience and the hard work of our associates that makes America’s Car-Mart great. Our new tagline, ‘Keeping You on the Road’ says it all,” Car-Mart president and chief executive officer Jeff Williams said in the news release.

“Our associates live out our mission, vision and values and give our customers peace of mind with their local transportation needs. We strongly believe local communities are better when we are there, and we are proud of our company and excited about our future,” Williams continued.

And that company future is one of the topics Judy discussed with senior editor Nick Zulovich during this podcast, which can be heard by clicking on the link available below, or visit the Auto Remarketing Podcast page.
