Lithia & Driveway is moving up in the corporate world.

The dealership group, which operates some 450 locations in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., announced it ranks 124th on the 2025 Fortune 500 list, up 16 spots from its 2024 ranking.

LAD was No. 1 in the list’s Automotive Retail category for the second consecutive year, bolstering the company’s claim as “the world’s largest automotive retailer.”

The annual Fortune 500 ranks the largest U.S. corporations by total revenue.

Lithia & Driveway debuted on the list in 2015 at No. 482 with revenue of $7.9 billion. This year, LAD generated $36.2 billion in revenue. The company said its growth has been driven by a combination of organic growth, strategic acquisitions, digital innovation and a growing network of dealerships.

“Advancing to No. 124 on the Fortune 500 and maintaining our leadership in automotive retail underscores the strength of our long-term growth strategy and the disciplined execution of our business model,” president and CEO Bryan DeBoer said. “As we continue to grow, we remain committed to driving operational excellence, accelerating our growth and delivering exceptional experiences that meet customers wherever they are.”

Rick Case CEO makes special delivery to hospitalized children

Rick Case Automotive’s leader made a special delivery to young patients at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.

Rita Case, the dealership group’s president and CEO, joined the Broward County property appraiser’s Outreach Program, former pro golfer Paul Azinger’s Family Compassion Center and the nonprofit organization One More Child, in partnership with Bealls department stores, to bring toys, puzzles, shoes, blankets and colorful handmade quilts to the Hollywood, Fla., facility’s patients.

Hospital CEO Caitlin Stella said the donations “will bring comfort and joy to our patients and families while they are here.”

The quilts, donated by One More Child, were designed from artwork submitted by students throughout the nation and made by women who weaved the artwork into the quilts.

“When I got the call about where I thought these donations would have the most impact, I immediately thought of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital,” Case said. “For children, coming to the hospital can be very frightening. We want them to feel at home and be comforted while they’re here. That’s what makes this donation so important.”

Rick Case Automotive, based in Sunrise, Fla., operates 12 dealerships in South Florida and Georgia.

Ron Cacciatore of the Broward County property appraiser’s office said Case has been “an invaluable partner, dedicating her time and resources to making people’s lives better,” adding, “It’s through Rita that we were connected with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.”
