Allegiant Automotive is an independent automotive dealership in Springfield, Missouri, founded by Aden Waters in 2022. It operates from a facility on East Kearney Street with a team of 15 or more, retails between roughly 55 and 75 vehicles in a typical month, and does more than $13 million in annual sales volume. 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.
