O’REILLY AUTOMOTIVE 2005 ANNUAL REPORT
16
store growth in new, contiguous markets while maintaining
overnight delivery to every store and the product availability
that our customers need.
It should be no surprise that our stores were among
the last to close in most markets before the Gulf Coast
hurricanes and among the first to reopen following the
storms. The flexibility and extensive reach of our
distribution network enabled us to adjust to these
disruptions just as it allows us the responsiveness to
continually provide our customers with the parts they
need on a daily basis. However, none of our advanced
distribution systems would be effective without the hard
work and dedication of each and every one of our team
members. It is truly their commitment to providing
“better parts at better prices … everyday” that
drives our success.
