Sonic adds 4th EchoPark location in Georgia

Sonic Automotive has opened a delivery center for its EchoPark Automotive used-car store program in Georgia’s second-biggest city.

The delivery center in Columbus, located in the western part of the state near the Alabama border, is the 38th overall EchoPark location and its fourth in Georgia.

There is also a delivery center in Augusta, along with retail hubs in Duluth and Marietta.

“With the opening of our new delivery center in Columbus, we look forward to serving more guests in Georgia and surrounding areas with yet another convenient location that will provide the best car shopping, selling and buying experience online and in-store,” Sonic chief executive officer David Smith said in a news release.

“As we continue to expand the EchoPark brand, we remain committed and focused on delivering the best quality pre-owned cars with the best proven value from the most caring staff to deliver award-winning guest experiences. Our mission is literally in our name, Every Car deserves a Happy Owner. And we’re proud that our 5-Star ratings and reviews speak to that.”

Earlier this month, Sonic announced the opening of a EchoPark retail hub in Cary, N.C., a suburb of Raleigh.

The location was formerly a Ford dealership.

That hub is EchoPark’s third location in North Carolina, which is the home state of Charlotte-headquartered Sonic. There is an EchoPark retail hub in Charlotte and a delivery center in Greensboro.
