Advance Auto Parts

Things are heating up in Florida! Our newest store in Largo, Fla., is officially open. This new location will give both DIY and Pro customers better access to the parts they need to keep vehicles moving. As part of the grand opening celebration for our third store in the Largo community, we’re proud to partner with Pinellas Technical College with a donation to help cover the cost of students’ parts and tools as they gain hands-on experience. Congratulations and thank you to everyone who made today’s opening possible! #InspireServeGrow

Advance team members partnered with USO to create care packages for active‑duty service members. The packages — filled with toiletries and popular snacks from home — are being distributed by USO teams to U.S. service members on bases, ships and in remote locations. Giving back to those who serve is one of the ways we act with purpose and show up for our team and the communities we serve. #InspireServeGrow

Ryan Blaney and Team Penske helped us debut our new “Good Parts” campaign this weekend at the Cracker Barrel 400 in Nashville with the No. 12 car featuring our new Americana paint scheme. The design pays tribute to America’s 250th birthday and nearly a century of Advance supporting generations of motorists, from the earliest days of the open road to today’s DIYers and professionals. Adding to the excitement, we hosted more than 200 fans at our Murfreesboro, Tenn., store to meet Blaney and get a first look at the new paint scheme before it hit the track. Special thanks to all the hardworking teams who made the event a success. What are your thoughts on the new design? Let us know in the comments.

Today, we added another dot to the map. We’ve officially opened our newest Advance Auto Parts store in Winchester, Va.! Behind every new store is hard work, collaboration and commitment from teams across our organization, all aligned around the same goal: supporting our store teams and putting customers first. Thank you to the teams who make our growth possible. #InspireServeGrow
