Results of Living Green
Our introduction to this annual report outlined the maxim
that “Culture can’t be selected or scripted, it must be
consistently practiced.” Another maxim is equally true:
“Culture cannot be created overnight.” The O’Reilly
Culture reflects the core values inherent in our company
from its very beginnings. We owe this legacy to the personal
and business values embraced by Charles F. (C.F.) O’Reilly
and his son, Charles H. “Chub” O’Reilly when they opened
their first auto parts store in Springfield, Missouri in 1957.
The culture handed down from C.F. and Chub O’Reilly
and nurtured over nearly 50 years lives on today in over
19,000 enthusiastic, hardworking, professional O’Reilly
team members. This culture is the driving force behind our
profitable growth and financial success and will continue
to be our greatest asset in the future.
