Auto Parts Center & Hardware partners with Parts City Auto Parts
Auto Parts Center & Hardware, located at 16581 Hwy 16 East is now partnered with Parts City Auto Parts, a brand of Ozark Automotive Distributors developed specifically for supplying parts and business support to independently-owned auto parts businesses. Currently, Ozark Automotive services over 5,000 O’Reilly Auto Parts stores and independent Parts City Auto Parts locations from coast-to-coast.
Auto Parts Center & Hardware will continue to be locally owned and operated by Kenneth Kitchens and Jennifer Hull, as it has been for the last 12 years. The brother/sister duo say they switched to Parts City to provide the community with a better coverage and availability of parts. They also express their excitement to be a part of a well-established and reliable company.
In addition to selling auto parts, Auto Parts Center & Hardware does battery recycling, battery testing, custom hydraulic hoses, and wiper blade installation. They plan on adding additional store services in the future.
When asked what she likes about running an auto parts store, Jennifer responded, “I love ensuring the community has whatever they need without having to leave town.” She continues, “Our primary focus is on auto parts, but we also carry hardware, lumber, plants, and a variety of other lines.”
Kenneth and Jennifer want to ensure the local community is well taken care of and have everything they need to complete any job they are working on. Their passion for serving the community is rooted in the way they watched their father serve the community, “We wanted to keep the business going when he passed because it is something our town needs. We value and appreciate the business and support from our customers.”
Kenneth and Jennifer invite you to drop by, say hello and check out the new product selection.
Auto Parts Center & Hardware is open Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm and Saturday from 7 am to 1 pm. The store phone number is (601) 743-5677.
