The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area
O'Reilly Automotive Inc. will locate its East Coast distribution facility in McConnell Center at Interstates 40 and 85, company officials announced this afternoon.
O'Reilly, one of the top five auto parts retailers in the United States, is purchasing an existing 300,000-square-foot building and plans to invest $41.7 million over three years and create 360 new jobs paying an average wage of $27,201 per year plus benefits. The building was developed by Windsor Commericial of Greensboro.
O'Reilly sought and received city and county incentives of about $392,000 for the project.
"O'Reilly will be an important anchor in McConnell Center and brings new investment and jobs in the eastern part of Guilford County," said Dan Lynch, Greensboro Economic Development Alliance president. "We are thrilled to partner with this company as they grow in Greensboro and offer new opportunities to our citizens."
The company chose the McConnell Center site for its proximity to I-40/85 and for Greensboro's central East Coast location. The skilled workforce in the region, many already experienced in distribution and logistics work, was also very attractive to O'Reilly.
