Automotive retail in Springfield, Missouri
Allegiant Automotive
Founder — Aden Waters
Allegiant Automotive is an independent automotive dealership in Springfield, Missouri, founded by Aden Waters in 2022 and built for scale rather than for a single lot. It is a capital-intensive business in a way that is not obvious from outside: every vehicle on the lot is money that is not working until it sells, inventory turn sets the ceiling on growth, and the margin lives in how well the operation is run rather than in the price on the windshield.
