ROCHESTER and ST. CLOUD, Minn. -

Ernie Garcia says Carvana’s Minnesota expansion has been rapid, with back-to-back launches in the state.

Those launches were in the cities of Rochester and St. Cloud. Garcia, who is Carvana founder and chief executive officer, describes Rochester as “a city built on innovative ideas and a people-first mentality.”

The company announced the St. Cloud launch on Tuesday and the Rochester launch on Wednesday.

Garcia said his company looked forward to carrying on the innovativeness and “people first” ideals in the Rochester community, “offering customers a car buying and selling option that’s powered by technology and exceptional customer experiences.”

Addressing the St. Cloud launch, Garcia said, “Reaching St. Cloud area residents with as-soon-as-next-day delivery means we can bring our fast, transparent car buying option to more and more customers across the state.”

With the Minnesota announcements, Carvana now offers as-soon-as-next day delivery in 151 U.S. markets.
