FullSpeed opens Grease Monkey 'store of the future'

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — FullSpeed Automotive has opened its "store of the future" prototype — a Grease Monkey location in Warner Robins. The official grand opening is Aug. 3.

The Store of the Future models were designed by Studio H2G with identifiable facades that help the brands stand out, the company said.

"The appearance of facilities in the auto aftermarket repair industry has been largely untouched for years, making FullSpeed's all new models for both Grease Monkey and SpeeDee a revolutionary move in an effort to modernize the industry," FullSpeed said.

Key features of the new store include new express lanes with a 15-minute stay-in-the-car model; clear and directional signage on the parking lot to bring ease to the consumer; all new lounge areas and patio seating with refreshments and entertainment for units that already provide additional services; plus, state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence that will educate, inform and streamline the customer experience, FullSpeed said.

"Opening the first Store of the Future location is an honor," said Salim Chhotoo, co-owner and director of operations at the store. "We are very happy to open our first Grease Monkey store in Warner Robins, which is the 'Home of Planes, Trains, and Heroes.' The new features will attract and retain loyal customers because of the advanced streamlined operations and quality lounge areas created with the customer in mind. Our quality and quick service is now paired with a design and ease that will benefit everyone."
