Advance Auto Parts is closing 500 stores and shedding 200 independent locations to try to turn its business around
Briefly

Advance Auto Parts is shutting down over 500 corporate stores and 200 independent locations in a major effort to improve its struggling business performance.
The North Carolina-based company's decision follows a $6 million loss in Q3 and aims at streamlining operations through store closures and improved supply-chain management.
Despite the closures, Advance Auto plans to 'accelerate the pace of new store openings' and implementing a standardized operating model to enhance future growth.
The company has experienced declining sales since the start of the year, prompting it to lower its full-year revenue outlook for the second time.
