55 Missouri Auto Parts Stores in Danger After Closings Announced

2024 has seen thousands of retail stores announce closures. There are now 55 Missouri auto parts stores in danger after their chain just announced surprise closures of hundreds of stores soon.

Advance Auto Parts announced in a surprising press release that earnings were down for the quarter year-over-year and their store sales were on the decline by percentage points, too. That news was followed with the following details which were unexpected:

"Reduction in U.S. asset footprint - closing 523 Advance corporate stores, exiting 204 independent locations, and closing four distribution centers."

How many Missouri Advance Auto Parts stores will be closing?

No specific locations have been announced as of the date of this writing, but the Advance Auto Parts store locator page currently shows 55 Missouri stores.

It's unknown how quickly Advance Auto Parts will move to close store locations or which specific Missouri places might be affected. Once the company announces details, I will update this story to reflect which Missouri Advance Auto Parts will be no more.
