WASHINGTON (March 5, 2013) — Genuine Parts Co.'s NAPA Auto Parts business has joined the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) as a corporate partner.
The chamber represents the interests of more than 3 million Hispanic-owned businesses through a network of more than 200 local chambers and business associations nationwide.
"Our goal in partnering with the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is to connect with an incredibly large and dynamic segment of the market, and let these entrepreneurs know that we offer a viable, proven, and time-tested opportunity to independently own a NAPA location," said Josh D'Agostino, NAPA's director of new business development.
"We think the NAPA story of community, building wealth, and freedom and pride of ownership resonates well within the Hispanic community and we are working with the USHCC to share our opportunity to own a family business."
NAPA has a network of more than 6,000 auto parts stores in the U.S., with 80 percent of the locations independently owned and operated.
