Saratoga Auto Supply has opened its newest NAPA Auto Parts location in Milton.
The majority of NAPA Auto Parts stores are owned independently by local community members. In Milton, the new store is owned by the husband and wife team of Jeff and Veronica Shorr as part of the Saratoga Auto Supply Group.
The Saratoga Auto Supply Group was established in 2014 and now consists of five NAPA Auto Parts locations across Saratoga, Warren and Washington counties.
The group also operates four additional private parts supply stores for large clients including DA Collins Companies, the Romeo Auto Group and Rowland Street Garage.
Saratoga Auto Supply also supports over 30 locally-owned and operated auto repair shops in Saratoga County under its NAPA Auto Care banner as well.
The new 16,000-square-foot NAPA location in Milton is the first NAPA location in the United States to be designated as a large-format showcase store and it is being used by NAPA as a model to test design concepts NAPA hopes to launch in select markets across the U.S., according to company officials.
The store features an 8,000-square-foot showroom, a pair of interactive two-car garages displays, a Milwaukee Tool Zone, the Chemical Guys Vehicle Detailing Center, and it offers free EV Charging Stations onsite.
In addition, this location provides in-house Valspar automotive paint mixing and houses a dedicated NAPA Direct Call Center to support its 600-plus wholesale customers in Saratoga County.
Officials said that with over $2 million in parts inventory in their on-site warehouse, it is now the largest Auto Parts store in Saratoga County.
NAPA has also collaborated with the Saratoga Auto Museum and other car enthusiasts to proudly launch NAPA’s “Best Show on the Road” to display a rotating cast of classic and antique cars from local collectors on the showroom floor.
The new NAPA Auto Parts Milton facility has already created 10 new full-time jobs with another eight to 10 new positions expected over the next 24 months.
At a recent ribbon cutting event, sponsored by the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce, Saratoga Auto Supply Group recognized the many organizations and partners throughout Saratoga County that contributed to this project, including Munter Enterprises, Saratoga National Bank, Paone Architecture, the town of Milton and the Saratoga County IDA.
