If doubling their sales goals in the first two weeks of being open is any indication of how well
Advance Auto Parts will do in
Mason, things are looking pretty good for the new 6,800 square foot store.
"It's got a very large footprint so we can get a lot of different part numbers in store," say Matthew Kleinknecht, general manager. "We have the same number of part numbers as our two local competitors combined."
The new store opened on April 19, after being in the works for several years. According to Kleinknecht, the national brand researched the former video store location some time ago, but the downturn in the economy slowed the opening of new Advance Auto Parts stores. After approval last year, work began on the Mason location in January.
"We've been welcomed with open arms," says Kleinknecht. "It's been phenomenal."
The new Advance Auto Parts employs a staff of 10 team members. They offer free battery and wiper blade installation and can check engine lights on 1996 vehicles and newer.
