 PROFILE
Crown Group aims to become king of sub-prime used-car sales. The company owns America's Car-Mart and 70% of Smart Choice Automotive Group, both of which target consumers with poor or limited credit histories. Car-Mart has 29 dealerships in smaller urban markets in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Smart Choice, including subsidiary Paaco, operates over 20 used-car dealerships in Texas and Florida. Crown Group also owns Precision, which sells and rents bulk containers; 80% of sub-prime mortgage lender Concorde Acceptance; 90% of El Salvadoran casino operator CG; and 45% of engine parts manufacturer Atlantic Castings. Revenues have increased by a third, due to acquisitions and higher sales from subsidiaries.
