Press Release Body = Former David Bridal Executive Named Advance Auto Parts CFO


Michael O. Moore, former financial executive of David Bridal, was named the
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Advance Auto Parts, Inc.

Advance Auto Parts, Inc., a leader in the automotive parts industry, recently named
Michael O. Moore its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. A native
of Indiana, Moore will be responsible for many aspects of the company\'s financial
dealings. In addition to taxes and accounting, he will also control the internal
audits of the company as well as investor relations.

Michael O. Moore has over 30 years of experience in the financial field in executive
positions with Cato Corporation, Bloomingdales, and David Bridal. More information
on David Bridal is available at
http://www.davidbridal2.com/articles/david-bridal.html In addition to financial
knowledge, Moore has a strong background in the retail industry in general and
expected to increase the company\'s profits considerably in the coming years. This
announcement came just days after Advance promoted Gregory E. Haan to Senior Vice
President, Merchandising, Parts Department.

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. is based in Roanoke, Virginia. With almost 3,000 stores
worldwide, it is the second largest automotive parts retailer in line after
AutoZone. Servicing do-it-yourself mechanics as well as professionals, this company
sells a plethora of automotive parts, such as maintenance items, batteries, and even
more in-depth products for all types of vehicles. Due to a number of recent
personnel changes, it would appear as though Michel Coppola, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Advance, is restructuring the company to challenge AutoZone for
the number one position.

However, Advance did not start out as an automotive store. In fact, in the early
stages, the company sold appliances, toys, and television sets. It was not until
the 1970\'s that the store consolidated its focus to the automotive industry.
