As the epicenter of the automotive aftermarket, AAPEX provides invaluable opportunities to connect with industry partners. Last night in Las Vegas, we proudly hosted Advance Professional's Strategic Account Reception. Leadership and professional team members welcomed representatives from our various strategic accounts for a fun-filled evening to connect, catch up and show appreciation for their partnerships that help drive our success. Thank you for joining us and for your continued hard work in supporting our business!

We are officially underway at AAPEX! The festivities kicked off with our President and CEO Shane O'Kelly participating in the Tuesday Morning Huddle during the AAPEX Keynote Breakfast. Titled “The New Industry Titans” and moderated by award-winning sports broadcaster Erin Andrews, O’Kelly joined fellow automotive aftermarket leaders for this panel discussion to offer their perspective on the current and future state of the industry. During the discussion, O’Kelly also emphasized the importance of recognizing and appreciating our people - frontline team members, vendor partners and most importantly, our customers.

October is widely known as National Fall Car Care Month and is designed to emphasize the importance of routine vehicle maintenance and care. Throughout the month, we continued our partnerships with law enforcement agencies nationwide to implement the "Advancing Our Roads" program. This initiative allows motorists experiencing vehicle equipment issues to receive an Advance gift card, rather than a ticket or citation, to aid in the safe repair of their vehicle. Thank you to our partners at City of Virginia Beach Police Department (Va.), Knox County Sheriff's Office (Tenn.), Walton County Sheriff's Office (Fla.), and all our partnering departments for their collaboration and dedication to making roadways safer for all!

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. This month, and all year long, we recognize and celebrate the talents and contributions that people with disabilities bring to the workplace. From our stores across the country to our headquarters in Raleigh, N.C., our team members are committed to fostering inclusion to create an environment where everyone is valued, supported and welcomed. Thank you, Lindsay Wrege, for joining us and sharing how 321 Coffee is making a difference for those with disabilities. View the video below to learn more!
