Advance’s Competitive Standing Plagued by Bloated Cost Structure, Ongoing Product Availability Woes
Business Strategy and Outlook
For the better part of the past 15 years, Advance Auto Parts has grappled with bloated expenses and supply chain inefficiencies that continue to plague its cost structure and product availability. The company’s first two attempts at a strategic turnaround failed to materialize under past CEO Darren Jackson (2008-2015) and Tom Greco (2016-2023), and the firm has recently called upon Shane O’Kelly to lead another turnaround.
