Brown & Sons Auto Parts, a shareholder of Automotive Parts Associates, is excited to announce the opening of a second location later this summer in Fenton, Michigan, approximately 25 minutes away from the original Flint, Michigan site. The new site will cater to both wholesale and retail customers. In addition, there will be a new warehouse that houses the renown brands that Brown & Sons is known for carrying.

“2024 is our 75th anniversary, so what better way to celebrate than by opening a second location?” asked Brown & Sons CEO Nick Branoff. “This is just the beginning of a three-store expansion planned over the next few years. Our growth strategy represents more than just expansion; it reflects a strong dedication to serving our community and the industry as a whole.”

“We are excited to see Brown & Sons growth,” said Steve Tucker, President of APA. “Here at APA, we foster a community of shareholders and members that demonstrate remarkable potential and dedication to quality. Brown & Sons has consistently shown their capability to not only meet but exceed expectations, and we are confident that their upward trajectory will only continue.”

Established in 1949, Brown & Sons is a family-owned business offering auto parts and industrial supplies globally. In addition, Brown & Sons provides a full inventory management system for companies that stock parts. Earlier this year, Nick Branoff was appointed to APA’s board of directors.
