Advance Auto Parts is working to improve its fulfillment, offering same-day delivery for automotive parts and accessories. Ron Gilbert, senior vice president of supply chain at Advance Auto Parts, told Digital Commerce 360 via email that the retailer uses a fulfillment strategy focusing on its market hubs.
Those hubs serve as an additional distribution node between distribution centers and stores, he said. Gilbert took over the role on Dec. 22, 2025, according to a company statement that month. The hubs carry about 75,000 to 85,000 SKUs, according to Gilbert. He called that “a significantly expanded assortment.”
That assortment enables faster fulfillment across a service area of typically 60 to 90 stores within its radius and allows us to expand assortment depth, he added.
“In today’s environment, it’s not enough to simply have access to parts; customers expect these parts to be available quickly, often within the same day, and delivered within a window that supports their operations,” Gilbert told Digital Commerce 360. “Our market hub fulfillment strategy helps support the needs of our stores and customers.”
