Carvana opens new campus in Atlanta
The first car that Carvana ever sold was in Georgia, and now the online retailer has opened a new campus in the state’s capital.
Carvana’s new Atlanta facility, which officially launched Tuesday, currently employs 1,500 team members in the state.
The company plans to add 3,500 more jobs in the area in coming years.
Atlanta was the online retailer’s first market when Carvana debuted in January 2013
The company now has multiple logistics hubs in Georgia along with an inspection center and one of its Car Vending Machines.
“When we sold our first vehicle online in 2013, we were a scrappy group on a mission to change the way people buy cars by re-imagining the business from the ground up with the north star of delivering the best customer experiences available,” Carvana founder and chief executive officer Ernie Garcia said in a news release.
“Atlanta was the first market where we sold 1,000 cars in one month and is still our largest, even though we’ve sold more than one million vehicles to date,” Garcia said. “Now more than ever, we remain committed to our continued expansion within the region.”
