DALLAS, Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT), a global online vehicle
auction company, is proud to announce the expansion of its
Abilene, Texas location. This is
Copart's fourth expansion of an existing location in Texas in 2016, having already announced the
expansion of its Fort Worth,
Houston and San Antonio locations.
"The expansion of our Abilene
location is the perfect complement to our already strong presence
in the Lone Star State," said Jay
Adair, CEO of Copart. "We have been gradually increasing our
footprint in Texas this year with
the new addition of our Waco,
Dallas South, and CrashedToys Dallas
locations, giving us 15 locations across the State of Texas."
Online auctions for Copart Abilene occur at noon CST every Friday. Copart's inventory is not
limited to vehicles, but also includes a wide collection of boats,
RVs, ATVs, motorcycles and more.
Copart practices good corporate citizenship and prides itself in
giving back the local communities in which it does business. In
July, Copart sponsored the STEM clinic at the Girl Scouts of
Northeast Texas High School College Journey summer camp by donating
more than $14,000 worth of computers,
printers, monitors and other electronics.
In addition, Copart offers law enforcement, fire departments and
similar government agencies a safe training environment. Copart
locations are also used by agencies as a controlled environment to
train K-9s to track narcotics and explosive devices. Agencies are
encouraged to contact their local Copart location to
learn more about conducting training at Copart. To learn more
