KC AAP and CQ stores have been targeted by FMP to finish them off. Weak leadership in KC has opened the door for easy pickings especially when it comes to taking people. Same MO will show up in other markets as well. Thanks McBobo.

Nice job McBoBo. Fail!
Obviously FMP has capitalized on the weak upper management structure in KC. Sales will continue to decline.
The commercial accounts are being smart as they already know Advance over promises and under delivers, so yes, last call is right.
Factory rep? We've never seen a factory rep in Maine,only AAP employees that don't know anything about what we try to sell from an empty DC.
I am a factory rep and have been out making dealer calls this week in KC. Looks like FMP has taken a solid chunk of the AAP commercial customers last week from what the shop owners are saying. They also say that they only call AAP as a last choice. Sounds like Advance better stick with retail.
Nobody even cares any more.
