Phoenix-based online car seller Carvana has officially opened a new office campus in Atlanta.
Carvana now has more than 1,500 employees in Georgia with plans to add another 3,500 jobs over the next several years, the Arizona company said in a release.
Carvana also has vehicle inspection operations in Georgia.
“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,” says Ernie Garcia, Carvana founder and CEO. “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. Now more than ever, we remain committed to our continued expansion within the region.”
The Atlanta campus is located in DeKalb County at State Farm Park Center Building 1 in the City of Dunwoody at 236 Perimeter Center Parkway.
Georgia officials welcomed the jobs and growth.
“Carvana is another shining example of the success entrepreneurs can achieve in the No. 1 state for business,” said Governor Kemp. “I appreciate this innovative company for continuing to invest in Georgia and for placing their trust in our world-class infrastructure and workforce. This expansion will provide many exciting opportunities for hardworking Georgians, and represents another step in the Peach State’s growth as a hub for forward-thinking companies.”
