Amazon now focused on the after market auto parts business.

 

Not a good time to be invested in the likes of auto zone.

 

Amazon will lose $ on the catagory however long it takes to run out one of the major players.

They ate transitioning into more of a full service yard/lawn/home store.

 

Think home town hardware store on steroids.

 

They no longer from a pricing point attempt to compete with Lowes or home Depot.

 

But rather provide superior service,quality of products and offer in house experts who can not only assist at time of sale but also at time of instillation.

 

Many now have an area where local contractors are on hand and will give instant bids on instalation of buildings as well as land scape and items such as flooring.

In 1959, John Menard, Jr. began building post-frame buildings to finance his college education. By the end of 1959, Menard found it necessary to hire extra crews, and to purchase more equipment to keep up with demand. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire in 1962, Menard purchased land in Eau Claire and built an office and shop. The company was founded in 1960[2] and incorporated in 1962.[3]

 

In 2007, Menards opened their third and fourth distribution centers in Holiday City, Ohio, and Shelby, Iowa, which are 669,000 square feet (62,200 m2) and 735,000 square feet (68,300 m2), respectively.[4]
