I don't know, Carquest always seemed to be focused on jobbers-"We will never be your competitors", then got their own stores and some JV stores went after other CQ jobbers' business in their area. Now I keep hearing this. It really doesn't matter to me, it all seems to conflict with Temple's philosophy. Of course we are all struggling except AZ! LOL- Hey what's with O'Reilly not hiring anyone that used to work with their competitors? Most of us are not that brand loyal.
