Western Auto Supply Tough Phone Case
Carry a reminder of Western Auto Supply’s far-reaching story with this tough phone case. The Kansas City company began in 1909 by mailing replacement automobile parts, then expanded into neighborhood stores and a remarkable range of merchandise, from bicycles and tools to appliances and outdoor equipment. Collectors remember its independent dealer network and house brands, while the relit rooftop sign at its former Kansas City headquarters keeps that history in view. A practical everyday choice for fans of American retail and automotive heritage.
Western Auto Supply Company began in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1909, founded by George Pepperdine and Don Abnor Davis as a mail-order business for replacement automobile parts. Its first retail store opened in 1921. The chain grew alongside automobile ownership, eventually operating more than 1,200 company-owned stores and over 4,000 independent associate locations. Its offerings expanded well beyond auto parts, including bicycles, tires, tools, appliances, electronics, and outdoor equipment. The company developed private-label lines such as Western Flyer bicycles, Wizard tools, and Revelation firearms. Beneficial Corporation acquired Western Auto in 1961. In 1985, Western Auto management and Wesray Capital Corporation led a leveraged buyout; Sears acquired the company in 1988. Sears converted many company-owned stores to the Parts America format and sold most of the remaining business to Advance Auto Parts in 1998. Advance ended distribution to Western Auto dealers in 2003, bringing the brand's distribution network to a close. The former headquarters at 2107 Grand Boulevard in Kansas City became loft condominiums, while its rooftop sign was relit in 2018.
