Auto Parts Chain Closes New York Stores

A popular name in auto parts has announced its plans to close a massive number of locations, including seven stores in New York.

Back in November we learned that one of the biggest names in auto parts had begun to lay out its plans to close a massive number of its more than 4,700 stores across the country as the company attempts to improve its business performance in the future.

The plan would include closing 727 Advance Auto Parts stores across the country, including 523 Advance Auto Parts corporate stores, 204 independent locations, and four of its distribution centers.
