Abstract: This report highlights the structure of Auto Parts Retail industry in US and going forward its relation with Real Estate expansion. The fall of SEARs Inc and very recent the bankruptcy filing by JC Penny raises the question of historic Big Boxes stores expansion setting up Brick & Mortar point of sale. The expansion in the Brick & Mortar space of the Auto Stores hasn’t really kept up with sale growth. Industry as a whole is considered to be in a terminal growth phase and almost all players Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, O’Reilly and Genuine Parts Company have not posted double digit growth for last decade with the exception of COVID.
