Popular Auto Parts Store to Close Roughly 700 Locations in 15 States Soon

One of the best-known names in auto parts is making big moves. Advance Auto Parts, with hundreds of stores across the U.S., is closing more than 700 locations by the middle of 2025.

This is among the latest huge moves by companies dealing with financial challenges. And while getting a deal from an auto store going out of business may be a smart money move if you own a car, some consumers may be losing a reliable retailer. Find out if one of these locations slated for shutdown is near you.

It's no secret that many stores have been struggling in recent years to bring in customers and find ways to streamline operations. Officials from Advance Auto Parts said the closings were part of a restructuring plan the company began in 2024.

Specifically, they plan to close about 500 corporate stores, 200 independent ones, and four distribution centers by the middle of 2025. Officials said the closings were part of actions needed for long-term success and performance.
