American Car Care Centers Inc. (ACCC) will inform dealers and suppliers today of its board of director's decision to dissolve the company by Jan. 31, 2014.
Since its 1989 formation, ACCC has grown to encompass a combination of 21 distribution and retail operations forming a network of 1,100-plus points of sale nationwide.
During the last 24 years ACCC has provided members with a vast array of programs, promotions and support while distributing over 200 million tires through the ACCC network.
Growth and consolidation of ACCC's member-distributors, coupled with changing industry dynamics, led to this decision after several months of discussion.
Len Lewin, president and CEO of ACCC, stated, "As you might imagine, the decision was not an easy one, but after evaluating every alternative, we collectively came to the conclusion it is the right, long-term decision for all involved."
ACCC member-distributors will continue to service their independent retail customers and will work closely with dealers to ease ther transition into new marketing programs, said ACCC.
Lewin furter stated, "ACCC has consisted of some of the finest distributors and retailers in the industry, this structural change will not impact their ability to service their customers nor impede their forward progress in any significant way. They are all seasoned organizations with experience and knowledgeable people; they know how to win. It is now time for them to begin the next chapter."
