Wayne gets a new parts store
A large inventory of parts and speedy delivery out of stock parts are two things being stressed by Wayne's third automotive parts store. The store, a new National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA) store, has been set up at Red Carr implement, located north of Wayne on Highway 15. A crew of 25 workers began setting up shelves on Monday and had the store open for business by Wednesday. Red Carr is the owner of the business. He, son Larry and wife Norma will run the operation. Included in the inventory will be parts for all makes of tractors, cars, trucks, irrigation systems, lawn mowers, snowmobiles and other
equipment. Joe Egler of Genuine Parts, an Omaha based distribution center which stocked the store, said he believes the NAPA store will have the largest inventory of parts in Wayne.
"A farmer will be able to get almost anything. There is very little a person can walk in and no get," he said. The new business has between 4,000 and 5,000 square feet of storage space for parts.
