PHOENIX -

It’s been a busy week for Carvana near the picturesque mountains of Utah and along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

But Carvana hasn’t been on vacation. Rather, the company opened seven more locations to expand its digital retailing footprint for onsite delivery to 279 markets.

The newest locations where Carvana now does business include the Utah cities of Ogden, Provo and Salt Lake City.

In the South, Carvana now has operations in Alabama to serve potential buyers in Mobile and Daphne. Meanwhile, Carvana’s Florida operations now involve digital retailing in Crestview and Pensacola.

Carvana founder and chief executive officer Ernie Garcia pointed out that the company’s location in Provo gives it the chance to work with students, faculty and other individuals connected with Brigham Young University to go with other opportunities in the Beehive State.

“Salt Lake City is a growing area with a variety of vehicle needs and wants,” Garcia said in a news release. “Our expansion to Ogden allows us to schedule as-soon-as next day vehicle deliveries to even more Utah residents and bring new customers great prices and a great selection, 100% online.”

Garcia is also enthused about being making an “entrance into one of the largest metro areas in Alabama” by setting up in Mobile. Meanwhile, Carvana also now has a presence just across Mobile Bay in Daphne, too.

And finally, Carvana’s footprint in the Sunshine State is one of the company’s largest, now retailing digitally in 14 markets.

“We’ve called Florida home for many years, now, and we found that Floridians have enjoyed the transparency and ease that Carvana brings to the car buying experience,” Garcia said.

“We’re continuing our momentum and addressing the demand we’ve experienced in Florida the last several years,” he added.
