Acquisitions were the name of the game in 2007, with Uni-Select purchasing two additional distributor locations in the United States, to name one example. In addition, O'Reilly Automotive and AutoZone continue to open new stores across the nation, with both companies vowing to grow the commercial side of their respective businesses to better serve the professional customer.
Several companies, like The Pep Boys and Advance Auto Parts, took a hard look at their operations and launched long-term strategic plans to drive sales and improve the return on invested capital. In addition, almost all of the Top 10 companies in this report are reevaluating their wholesale/retail mix and are poised to grab a bigger slice of the do-itfor- me pie in 2008.
As in years past, we tried to make the list as complete and accurate as possible. If we inadvertently omitted your company, please let us know and we'll be happy to include you in 2008.
