Our Commercial business saw positive sales
gains resulting from national and regional account
growth, incremental growth in our e-commerce
business and continued positive response to
the leading e-services we offer. Delivery speed
and reliability continued to improve across the
board. We continued driving improvements to our
in-market availability and assortment through the
support of 374 HUB stores and the positive
impact from our daily delivery capabilities from
our Remington, IN distribution center. Together,
Advance Auto Parts and Autopart International
opened 172 new stores in 2013, a 35 store
increase over 2012 openings. The performance
of our new stores positions us well for 2014.
