As we roll into 2024, let’s look back at some of the amazing opportunities 2023 had in store for Pep Boys! This year, we opened stores in three key markets and homed in on making auto service and repairs our priority – all part of our mission to make quality car care simple, convenient, and accessible for everyone.
In June we unveiled a new location in Chalmette, Louisiana at 3370 Paris Road in St. Bernard Parish – our fourth location in the New Orleans Market. Our team was joined at the grand opening this summer by the St. Bernard Autism Awareness Krewe, where the organization accepted a check for $1,000. Since then, our Pros at the service center have been providing a full range of automotive maintenance and repair services to customers, keeping Chalmette moving smoothly.
In August, Pep Boys celebrated the opening of a full-service location in Brownsburg, Indiana , marking our 11th Pep Boys location in the Indianapolis market. Our crew in Brownsburg celebrated the grand opening with a donation to the Little Red Door Cancer Agency and some amazing members of the greater Indianapolis area. The center, located at 2697 IN-267, provides both individual customers and the area’s fast-growing fleets with preventative maintenance, tire installations and both routine and major repairs performed by certified technicians. The Brownsburg service center joined our Noblesville location at 6077 Promenade Shops Blvd Noblesville, IN 46062, which opened in February.
Also in August, we celebrated the grand opening of our newest location in Raleigh at the Triangle Town Center at 7320 Old Wake Forest Rd. We were joined by community members, Pep Boys’ Pros, and representatives of local charities Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of North Carolina and the Haven House Society. The 14th location in the Raleigh market offers a full range of automotive maintenance and repair services.
In Puerto Rico this year we leased our retail locations to AutoZone. This retail conversion is the final step in our transition to a business model that focuses on automotive maintenance and repair services.
We hope your 2023 was as exciting and successful as ours! Over the past 12 months we’ve expanded our focus on providing the best automotive service to our customers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and we can’t wait to build on these achievements in 2024.
