RICHMOND, Va. (February 20, 2007) - CarMax, Inc., (NYSE: KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, officially opened its first store in Fresno, California today. The new CarMax superstore is located at 7180 North Palm Avenue in Fresno. The store is 45,400 square-feet, employs more than 100 associates and stocks 350 to 500 vehicles of nearly every make and model. This is the eighth CarMax store in California.

"We have revolutionized the way consumers buy cars," said Tom Folliard, president and chief executive officer of CarMax. "Fresno area residents now can choose to have a no-hassle, no-haggle, fun and easy car shopping experience at CarMax, the pioneer of the used car superstore."

More than 200 local dignitaries and CarMax associates attended a grand opening preview event at the superstore today. The event included a "Road Rally" for charity featuring local television personalities competing in a driving challenge, which included parallel-parking and pack-the-trunk events. CarMax donates $1,000 to each participant’s charity, and the winner’s charity receives an additional $1,000. The Road Rally participants included KFSN - TV Sports Anchor Jason Oliveira, KSEE - TV Morning Anchor Bud Elliott, KMPH - TV Chief Meteorologist Kevan Ramer, and KGPE - TV Sports Anchor George Takata.
