Company Celebrates with Contributions to Two Local Nonprofits

RICHMOND, Virginia (August 18, 2016) - CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation's largest retailer of used cars, is celebrating the grand opening of its eighth store in Tennessee. The new store is located at 449 Pinnacle Parkway and has an inventory of more than 140 used cars across nearly every make and model.

In celebration of the Bristol store opening, CarMax donated $2,500 to the Southwest Virginia 4-H Educational Center in Abingdon, Virginia. This donation will help support the center's mission to provide hands-on, experiential learning programs at a low cost for area youth.

The CarMax Foundation also provided a $5,000 grant to the Second Harvest Food Bank in Maryville, Tennessee, to help fund the Food for Kids Backpack Program. This program works with local schools to provide healthy, easily prepared food to some of the most vulnerable children in the community. Bristol CarMax associates recommended both nonprofits to receive these donations.

'CarMax has a long-standing tradition of supporting the communities where our associates live and work,' said Mike Owens, location general manager of CarMax in Bristol. 'We are excited to be able to support the community in addition to bringing the unique CarMax experience to Bristol.'
