Copart, Inc., headquartered in Fairfield, recently announced the opening of a new 20-acre facility in Prairie Grove, Ark.

This latest addition to Copart's growing footprint marks the company's second facility in Arkansas, the 131st facility in North America, and the 146th facility world-wide.

Copart CEO and founder Willis J. Johnson said the site, which is located in the northwest corner of the state near the borders of Oklahoma and Missouri, will help increase capacity in Arkansas, as well as help service those bordering states.

Copart, founded in 1982, provides vehicle suppliers, primarily insurance companies, with a full range of remarketing services to process and sell salvage vehicles, principally to licensed dismantlers, rebuilders and used vehicle dealers.
