Advance Auto Parts Expands with New Locations in Athens, GA, and Beyond
Raleigh, N.C. — Advance Auto Parts has recently opened three new stores in Randolph, Mass., Lanham, Md., and Athens, Ga. The openings were celebrated with ribbon-cutting ceremonies and donations to local automotive technology programs.
The new store in Athens marks the company’s fifth location in the area and also functions as a market hub. This centralized facility is designed to enhance parts availability and ensure same-day fulfillment across the store network, particularly benefiting professional customers.
The Randolph location is the company’s second store in that city, with local officials and representatives from Blue Hills Regional Technical School present for the opening. Similarly, the second store in Lanham was inaugurated with support from local officials and members of Prince George’s Community College.
All donations made during these openings aim to support the educational needs of students in automotive programs, helping them acquire necessary parts and tools. This initiative aligns with the growing demand for skilled automotive technicians, with approximately 70,000 openings projected annually through 2034, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
