Growing at Wildcat Used Cars
By Janie Slaven Commonwealth Journal
The thing about families is that they grow , and so it should be with family-owned businesses as well . When Ricky Thomas opened Wildcat Used Cars in 2017 with his wife Amity , it was already a sign of growth . The couple has run Orion Properties LLC for almost 20 years . That business currently has around 80 tenants throughout Pulaski County .
Thomas ’ experience in auto sales dates back to 1994 when he joined Jeff Treado Automotive Group right after graduating from Somerset High School . Eventually he worked his way up to General Manager of Somerset ’ s Hyundai dealership before deciding to strike out on his own .
