RICHMOND, Virginia – CarMax, Inc . (NYSE: KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars , is celebrating the grand opening of the company’s third store in Seattle. The store is located at 3751 E. Valley Rd. in Renton and has the capacity to stock approximately 300 used vehicles of nearly every make and model. Customers can also request transfers to the Renton CarMax of almost any vehicle from other CarMax locations throughout the country.
In celebration of the Renton store grand opening, CarMax and The CarMax Foundation awarded $15,000 in donations and grants to the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County. Support for this organization came at the recommendation of the Renton CarMax associates.
