PROFILE |
 |
Ricart Automotive may well get the gold watch for most sales when it comes to car deals. One of the nation's largest auto dealers, it sells more than 30,000 cars a year. It serves the Columbus, Ohio, area with just four dealerships, but that includes the 66-acre Ricart Mega Mall that offers new and used vehicles, vans, and RVs. Ricart sells Ford and DaimlerChrysler cars, as well as a boatload of Asian imports. The company offers service, parts, and financing (including subprime loans). Ricart Aviation buys and sell reconditioned airplanes, and Ricart Cellular offers cell phones and pagers. Brothers Rhett Ricart (CEO) and Fred Ricart (VP) took over for their father Paul, who opened a small Ford lot in 1953.
