Business Buzz

I recently reported on the new Grocery Outlet, which just opened at the Hamilton Commons, and the nearby Crumbl Cookie. Both are the new hot spots in Hamilton Township and be sure to find out what all the excitement is about.
In the meantime, ground clearing has already occurred at the corner of McKee Avenue and the Black Horse Pike for the nationally recognized mega giant used-car company, CarMax.
CarMax will be located at 4181 Black Horse Pike in Mays Landing. The site is approximately 8 acres and will feature a 7,500-square-foot showroom and service building, along with parking to accommodate 70 plus cars.
The addition of CarMax will be a game changer for the Atlantic County used car industry. It will be the latest addition to the other 240 CarMax locations nationwide as they are the country’s largest retailer of used cars and have access to more than 50,000 vehicles at any given time.
CarMax is proud to be on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list. It puts a priority on valuing their 30,000 associates along with their customers.
The company says it is committed to their workforce and strives to create diversity and inclusion among their employees.
For customers, CarMax prides itself in providing quality service using fully equipped facilities and the latest technology to offer a complete customer experience including financing and warranty programs.
The company also participates extensively in their communities.
“When the communities where they live and work thrive, so does CarMax,” the company states in its official literature. “They see the success of their local business and their local communities as fundamentally linked.”
Traveling down the Pike to 6312-631 Black Horse in Egg Harbor Township, you will notice land which was recently cleared next to the U-Haul store and storage facility.
It will be an extension of the existing 2,700-square-foot U-Haul store with the addition of a 20,000-square-foot, two-story self-storage facility along with a 2,000-gallon propane tank for sales. Lastly, there will be an additional 39 parking spaces to accommodate more U-Haul trucks. The bottom line is the Black Horse Pike is on the move.
Please remember to shop local and support the small businesses in this region we call home.
