Subject: [Fot] Oil filters, consumables and other sundry supplies

Don’t know if you westerners got the memo but it made National news…
Advance Auto Parts is closing 700 stores west of the Mississippi. 
The closeout deals are crazy - 40-50% off supplies and 70-80% off of “hard parts”. 
I’ve been buying everything I think I’ll ever use. 
The effected stores will be closed sometime in March and discounts could go to 90%+ at the end. 
Bonus it that their prior acquisition of Car Quest means lots of the stuff is pretty high quality (although that acquisition may have contributed to their demise). 
Stay thirsty my friends,

Greg “Lunker” Hilyer 
Albuquerque NM

"The troubled retailer will exit five Western states=E2=80=94Washington, Or=

California, Nevada, and New Mexico=E2=80=94entirely."  Texas is missing the=
 cut!

I have an O'Riellys 1.7 miles from home, an Autozone, Advance and PartsPlus
within the next mile, and the big 3 have another set of stores within a
stones throw of each other 2 miles further away. The market is overly
saturated.
