Advance Auto Parts

Advance Auto Parts is a leading automotive aftermarket retailer of parts, accessories, batteries, and maintenance items in the United States, serving both the do-it-yourself and professional installer markets. To help this renowned company celebrate its 75th anniversary, CorporateHistory.net author Heidi Tyline King did extensive research in company archives and conducted more than 50 oral history interviews with retail store Team Members, current and retired executives, and descendants of company founder Arthur Taubman. This material became the basis of a book-length narrative that Advance deployed in numerous ways:

• Feature stories in the employee magazine "FrontRunner"
• Timelines and text on the history pages of www.AdvanceAutoParts.com
• And in other corporate communications, highlighting the company's ongoing commitment to innovation and community involvement throughout its service area of 40 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands
