, announced the purchase of a 217,000-sq.-ft. distribution center on 12 acres located at 2189 Westover Road in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

Equipped with 32 loading docks, the new facility will become operational once it is fully outfitted with features to optimize efficiencies, including logistical and material handling technology, picking modules, conveyor systems, warehouse management software, and expedited will call and local delivery.  

The Chicopee location is strategically located between three existing Fisher distribution centers, allowing for further store expansion in Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont, the company said. Up to 150 stores will be serviced by the new facility.

The new Chicopee facility adds 217,000 sq. ft. to Fisher’s distribution center footprint of more than 2.5 million sq. ft. Supplying 19 states in which the company currently does business, the nine Fisher distribution centers are linked daily to provide over 92% fill rates, product coverage and overnight delivery from a company-owned fleet, according to Fisher Auto Parts. 

In addition, over 50 Greenfield locations have been opened or are scheduled to open by the end of 2024, including several mega-hub locations.

“We believe in the adage that no matter what our lot in life, we should build something on it,” said Reid. “There are much larger competitors; however, due to the highly capable team that we are honored to work with, we can be proud of our past results as we strive for future growth. We are especially grateful to all of our channel partners, including customers, suppliers, APSG associates, and, in particular, team members for their unwavering dedication to outstanding customer service.”

      During the months of September, October and November 2023, professional technicians and shop owners had the opportunity to earn entries on MyPlace4Parts with every qualifying invoice and a chance to be a grand-prize winner. Each winner and their guest joined Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper hosts as they got ready to depart on their exciting adventure, beginning with a welcome reception and dinner in Seattle. Once onboard, guests had a 7-night, 8-day adventure packed with activities and shore excursions, the

Entries were earned with every qualifying invoice worth $150 from an Auto Value or Bumper to Bumper parts supplier.  In addition, MyPlace4Parts users earned automatic bonus entries each day for every $150 increment made through MyPlace4Parts. Beyond the grand prize adventure cruise, there was also a total of $45,000 in gift cards given to 240 other lucky winners.
      “This trip has been nothing but amazing, exceeding all our expectations. We are extremely fortunate to be a small part of the Auto Value & Bumper to Bumper family with our parts supplier, Moog Louisville Warehouse,” said Steve Morton, of Morton’s Auto and Truck Repair in New Albany, IN. “We love the 32-year business relationship we have with Moog who are our main supplier for all our parts. We couldn’t do what we do daily without their support and thank them, Auto Value & Bumper to Bumper and their industry partners for this amazing trip!”
      Once on the Ovation of the Seas cruise ship, guests were treated to all-inclusive amenities and celebrated the first night on the ship with a group reception and private dinner seating. Each winner and their guest had a unique selection of port excursions, including whale-watching boat tours, ziplining, 4x4s and e-bikes adventures, helicopter rides, dog-sledding experiences, and much more. Each port offered an opportunity for shopping and dining before setting sail to the next destination.
      “This was a magical experience and one my wife and I would not have been able to take without the help of our parts supplier, everything from start to finish was amazing,” said Tony Spraggins of Spraggins Auto Repair in Longview, TX, and customer of ABC Auto Parts. “We are so thankful to everyone who helped make this trip possible, including the manufacturers who sponsored our Alaskan Adventure.”
      “The Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper promotional sweepstakes events showcase the power of business partnerships,” said Jim Holik, director of marketing for Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper. “The professional shop owners and guests who came on this promotion have a chance to experience once in a lifetime adventures, but also create and build friendships with each other. Our manufacturing channel partners who help with these customer experiences deserve a lot of appreciation and once again we thank them for their continued support.”
