ROANOKE, VA — Roanoke-based Parts Depot (PDI) has purchased Tri-Citi Automotive Warehouse, a National Pronto Association member based in Tampa, Fla. Tri-Citi currently operates one warehouse and four stores, and serves more than 100 independent jobbers across the mid-Florida region.
As a member of the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, PDI operates 18 warehouses and some 90 company-owned stores (according to the “Super Stores” list from the Feb. ’04 issue of Counterman magazine) in the eastern U.S. In addition, PDI serves a multitude of independent jobbers.
It is expected that PDI will transition Tri-Citi to the Bumper to Bumper brand over time.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
