The distribution center, which only began operations in Q4,
2020, was able to stock up quickly on fast moving inventory and is
continuing to receive inbound containers weekly thanks to its
employees’ relentless commitment to operational efficiency.
CarParts.com also invested in the company’s capabilities by hiring
12 veterans, whose objective-oriented approach has enabled faster,
smoother operations.
“We’re thrilled that CarParts.com decided to become part of the
Texas business community,” said Texas Land Commissioner George P.
Bush. “The company is growing and has found that Texas has a
terrific business climate to support that growth. We appreciate all
the jobs and economic activity that CarParts.com is bringing to our
state, and we expect that number to grow. As a veteran myself, I am
particularly pleased that CarParts.com has recognized that veterans
are a tremendous asset to any growing business and has prioritized
hiring them.”
As America’s car fleet is the oldest in its history and the last
year has seen wide ecommerce adoption, demand for CarParts.com’s
products will continue to be high. That will make continued
operational efficiency at the distribution center critical, and the
CarParts.com team is committed to providing the resources it needs
to be successful.
CarParts.com is also proud of its partnership with Grand Prairie
and how it has become part of the community. “The economic downturn
has hurt Grand Prairie, just as it has hurt Texas and, indeed, all
of America,” said Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen. “CarParts.com has
brought Grand Prairie needed jobs and economic opportunity and has
proven to be an excellent partner for our city and its people. We
know they will be a partner long into the future.”
The distribution center has been critical to CarParts.com’s
ability to ensure its customers can get the right part to the right
place as quickly as possible – CarParts.com understands that
waiting for the right part is not an option in a country where 85%
of people still drive to work.
“We are incredibly proud and grateful for the intelligence,
talent, and hard work of our team at the Grand Prairie distribution
center,” said CarParts.com’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief
Financial Officer David Meniane. “They have done exceptional work
to get the facility stocked up and prepared to meet tremendous
demand quickly. With the recent launch of our shopping hub for the
EV community (www.carparts.com/ev), the distribution center will
remain an essential player, carrying aftermarket auto parts for
gas, electric, and hybrid vehicles, and supporting our mission to
serve drivers quickly and effectively for years to come.”
