Advance Auto parts is closing 700 stores nationwide.

I thought that was odd myself.

After I left, my CarQuest was instantly full of idiots. They would hire people off the internet, and parts knowledge wasn't a requirement. It was weird going across the street to the O'Reilly's (still want to call it Champion) and hearing the stories of how bad that shop became. Apparently most people who went there, went to the O'Reilly's next.
Did Champion sell out. I know they used to be big up there in the Cities. A couple of the managers here ended up with a store there after ours closed.
