CarMax, one of the nation’s largest used car retailers, broke ground Monday on a superstore near Hamilton Place mall.

The $15 million to $25 million facility is expected to open by early 2012, according to the company.

Company spokeswoman Elia C. Imler said the store will have a 36,000-square-foot showroom on an eight-acre site on Overnite Drive.

It is expected to employ between 50 and 75 employees.

CarMax operates 103 used car superstores in 49 metropolitan areas.
