pets each year, and 68 percent of those travel between 100 and 500
miles with their pets. * That’s why Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:
AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts retailer, is creating
the purrfect surprise experience for paw-rents this holiday
season.

Developed with the 23 million households who adopted pets during
the pandemic ** in mind, from Dec. 13-24, participating Advance
retail locations will welcome road trippers to pull off the highway
and treat their four-legged co-pilot to a free bandana and fresh
water while grabbing any pet and personal travel and road trip
essentials they need to complete their holiday journey.
“Advance has always been a trusted location for motorists, which
is why we wanted to elevate our in-store experience to meet the
needs of this year’s traveling consumer,” said Jason McDonell,
Advance’s executive vice president, merchandising, marketing and
eCommerce. “Many consumers are eager to reunite with family this
year, and we want to support them with care and speed every mile of
the way. Creating a space for furry family members while motorists
handle pre-road trip maintenance, last-minute gifting or one of our
free curbside services along the way are all part of that
mission.”
Paw-rents are encouraged to spread holiday cheer and snap a
photo of their dog, cat, bunny or other pawsome co-pilot rocking
their new accessory using the hashtag #AdvancePups for the chance
to score some additional pet products and gift cards.
Advance’s latest seasonal initiative comes as part of the
retailer’s larger purpose to help consumers both ‘advance their
holiday checklist’ via deals on gifts that ‘get ya somewhere’ and
dependable services that get them to their holiday destinations
safely. This includes free curbside services like battery testing
and installation, wiper blade installation and check engine light
scanning.
