STAUNTON, Va. – Federated Auto Parts member Arnold Oil Co. of Austin is moving into a new 137,000-square-foot warehouse in Austin, Texas. To celebrate the move, as well as the company’s 38th anniversary, Arnold Oil will hold a special grand opening event for customers and vendors on March 13 and employees on March 14.
“We congratulate everyone at Arnold Oil on 38 successful years and join them in celebrating their move into a new warehouse facility in Austin,” said Rusty Bishop, CEO of Federated Auto Parts. “Arnold Oil is a valued member of the Federated family. We know how much Jim Arnold and the entire team care about serving their customers and the expanded warehouse will allow them to serve more Federated Car Care Centers even more efficiently.”
The grand opening celebration event will include a vendor booth show for customers on March 13. The first 300 customers in attendance will receive gift bags and there will be door prizes, including flat screen televisions, gift cards and signed NASCAR memorabilia. Federated spokesperson Kenny Schrader also will be on-hand to meet and sign autographs for Arnold customers. A Federated booth will be on-site for customers to learn more about the Federated Car Care program. Attendees will get to tour the new warehouse facility and food will be served.
March 14 will be designated Arnold Oil employee appreciation day. There will be food and entertainment for the employees as well as gifts. The celebration will continue into the night at the nearby Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige, Texas, where Schrader and his Federated dirt track team will race.
“It has been many years since all our operations, both warehouse and administrative, have been under one roof so we couldn’t be more excited about what that means for our efficiency,” said Jim Arnold, president and CEO of Arnold Oil. “Thanks to our vendor partners participating in the grand opening event and a special thanks to our employees who made this new warehouse a reality.”
