Company Overview
CarParts.com. is a technology-driven ecommerce company which strives to improve the way drivers shop for the parts they need. After being in business for over 20 years—previously under the corporate name of U.S. Auto Parts Network—the company focuses its efforts on building a seamless factory-to-consumer online shopping experience for everyday drivers.
Approach
When U.S. Auto Parts Network/CarParts.com was ready to add a new facility to its business, McGuire Sponsel’s Credits & Incentive team joined the process as a strategic advisor. Along with this publicly traded company’s executives and real estate advisors, our consultants helped guide the decision making process for this important objective. With more than one million unique products available and large volume planned for this location, choosing the best building and the best community were critical to ensure the long-term success of this new distribution center.
Results
The project team determined that a location in the southwest U.S. would best serve the company’s customers and future growth. McGuire Sponsel’s Credits & Incentive team evaluated multiple markets throughout this process to aid the company’s site selection and location decision. Ultimately, the company chose to locate in Grand Prairie, Texas. The company provided an infusion of new jobs; the community offered a fantastic business climate and quality of life. It was a great match and the deal was formalized with excitement from everyone involved.
