CarMax will join the dealerships occupying Norwood's "Automile."

A CarMax spokesperson told the Herald it could take between two and three years and is expected to create between 100 and 125 jobs when opened. In December of last year CarMax opened its first Massachusetts dealership in North Attleboro, and began discussing a Norwood location on the "Automile." The business has been before the Norwood Board of Selectmen several times for the proper licenses involved in building on the 10 acres of space that will include a service center, showroom and lot …

Norwood resident Jonathan Hall says family and friends are working there while he works behind-the-scenes to make the shop 'more of a neighborhood market.'
Tuesday, Norwood resident Jonathan Hall visited "my own little market" for the first time in nearly a month. Injuries from a two-vehicle, rollover crash on Interstate 95 in Sharon on Sept. 27 has limited Hall lately to behind-the-scenes work Sharon Express, which he has owned since early September. "Everything's kind of a little strange right now, everything that I go back to for the first time," Hall said Tuesday. "I got home two days ago; that was a little weird. Now, here for the first time, it's a little strange. "Family and friends have just stepped up and kept it going, and made some of the changes I started to put into place." Hall plans to transform the Post Office Square market into "more of a neighborhood market" offering …
