Capital Automotive vice president and CFO David S. Kay tells GlobeSt.com Atlanta is an important market to the company as it strives to be geographically diverse. One of the firm's key dealership groups, Kelly Automotive Group, was featured in the annual report as being among the top five dealerships.
