The Carlock family automotive business dates back to 1967 when they were awarded their first franchise in Blytheville, Arkansas. Grover “Clay” Carlock, Jr. grew up in the family business, working his way throughout the dealership leading up to and during college. After graduating from college, Clay was awarded the Nissan sales and service point in the same town. Since that time, Clay grew the company into a group consisting of 15 brands and eight facilities in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.
