In 1921, Benjamin Ourisman founded the Ourisman Automotive business when he opened Ourisman Chevrolet at 6th and H Street, NE in Washington, DC. Hundreds of thousands of vehicle sales and millions of service repairs later, the Ourisman philosophy and mission continues to be "INTEGRITY". After nearly 50 years of Mandell Ourisman's leadership, a century of sales and service to the Wasington metropolitan area is an approaching milestone. Now, as always, Washingtonians prefer to "Keep it Simple, Keep it Ourisman," with the convenience of 24 franchises in 17 locations.
		In 1997, Ourisman Online Commerce Corp. launched Youth Leagues USA, the world's leading provider of web based solutions for youth and amateur sports organizations. Character development in our nation's youth can be nurtured by their participation in team sports. Youth Leagues USA is committed to expanding these participation opportunities. By creating organizational efficiencies, parents, coaches and volunteers are able to spend more time with kids on the fields. Youth Leagues USA's proprietary A.S.P. software systems have become the industry standard for adminstrative data, roster and communications management.
		In 2003, Ourisman Tysons started conceptual planning for 8600 Leesburg Pike (Rt. 7) in Tysons Corner, VA. The development plan (for this example) intends to convert this site into a gateway landmark for the western entrance to Tysons Corner, Virginia, and will be influenced significantly by the impact of Metrorail's Tysons West arrival. The mixed use architectural plans and renderings can be viewed.
		Beginning in September 2008, Ourisman Environmental LLC began selling and installing "at home" refueling appliances for buyers of vehicles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG). CNG is an abundant clean burning fuel that is sourced nearly 100% in North America. It offers an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to foreign oil and gasoline, but until now, its availability for automotive uses has not been widespread in this country. Natural gas is the cleanest burning commercially available fuel and costs about half of what gasoline does.
