About

CarMax, Inc. is a Richmond, Virginia-based used car retailer — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: KMX) as an S&P 500 component — operating as the largest used vehicle retailer in the United States with 250 stores across 109 television markets, 30,000+ associates, and fiscal year 2025 revenue of $26.37 billion (fiscal year ended February 28, 2025). Founded in 1993 as a Circuit City subsidiary in Richmond, CarMax pioneered no-haggle pricing and quality inspections in the used car market, introducing a consumer-friendly alternative to high-pressure dealership tactics. CarMax acquired Edmunds (consumer automotive research) for $404 million in 2021, enhancing digital capabilities and cross-platform vehicle discovery. In late 2025, CarMax announced significant leadership changes: CEO Bill Nash stepped down effective December 1, 2025 after nearly nine years, with Board member David McCreight named Interim President and CEO and former CEO Tom Folliard appointed Interim Executive Chair. The leadership transition came alongside a preliminary Q3 FY2026 outlook showing comparable store used unit sales declining 8-12% amid a soft used car market.

About

Brisk is a functional beverage brand offering ready-to-drink iced tea and juice drinks, jointly owned by PepsiCo and Unilever under the Lipton brand partnership. Launched in the 1990s, Brisk positioned itself as a bold, value-priced iced tea targeting younger consumers who wanted flavorful, refreshing beverages at affordable prices — often sold in large cans and bottles that delivered more volume at lower per-ounce costs than premium tea brands. The brand's irreverent advertising featuring clay-animated celebrities became culturally memorable.
