ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are each part of an automatic shelf registration statement on Form
S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as a "well-known seasoned issuer" as defined in Rule
405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Under the shelf registration process, we may from time to time,
offer and sell to the public any or all of the securities described in the registration statement in one or more offerings. This document
is in two parts. The first part, which is this prospectus supplement, describes the specific terms of this offering and other matters
relating to us and the notes we are offering. The second part, which is the accompanying prospectus, gives more general information
about securities we may offer from time to time, some of which may not apply to the notes offered by this prospectus supplement.
Generally when we refer to the "prospectus," we are referring to both parts combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the
information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus
or any document incorporated by reference therein, on the other hand, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus
supplement.
We and the underwriters have not authorized any dealer, salesman or other person to give any information or to make any
representation other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. You must not rely upon any information or representation not contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy our securities, nor do this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy our securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to
make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of the document or
that any information we have incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by
reference, even though this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is delivered or the notes offered hereby are sold
on a later date.
Information that we file with the SEC subsequent to the date on the cover of this prospectus supplement will automatically
update and supersede the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. We incorporate by
reference the documents listed in the "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" section included elsewhere herein and any
future filings made with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act, other than any portions of the respective filings that were furnished under applicable SEC rules, until we issue all of
the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms "Issuer" and "Advance" refers solely to Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and "we," "us" and
"our" refer to Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the

Our Company
We are a leading specialty retailer of automotive aftermarket parts, accessories, batteries and maintenance items primarily
operating within the United States. Our stores carry an extensive product line for cars, vans, sport utility vehicles and light trucks.
We serve both "do-it-yourself," or DIY, and "do-it-for-me," or Commercial, customers. Our Commercial customers consist
primarily of delivery customers for whom we deliver products from our store locations to our Commercial customers' places of
business, including independent garages, service stations and auto dealers. At October 5, 2013, we operated a total of 4,018
stores.
We operate in two reportable segments: Advance Auto Parts, or AAP, and Autopart International, Inc., or AI. The AAP
segment is comprised of our store operations within the Northeastern, Southeastern and Midwestern (inclusive of South Central)
regions of the United States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands which primarily operate under the trade names "Advance Auto
Parts" and "Advance Discount Auto Parts." At October 5, 2013, we operated 3,796 stores in the AAP segment. Our AAP stores
offer a broad selection of brand name and private label automotive replacement parts, accessories, batteries and maintenance
items for domestic and imported cars and light trucks. Through our integrated operating approach, we serve our DIY and
Commercial customers from our store locations and online at www.AdvanceAutoParts.com. Our online website allows our DIY
customers to pick up merchandise at a conveniently located store or have their purchases shipped directly to their homes or
businesses. Our Commercial customers can conveniently place their orders online.
At October 5, 2013, we operated 222 stores in the AI segment under the "Autopart International" trade name. AI's business
primarily serves the Commercial market from its store locations in the Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the
United States.
The Transactions
The Acquisition
On October 15, 2013, Advance Auto Parts, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Advance"), Generator Purchase, Inc., a North
Carolina corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Advance ("Merger Sub"), General Parts International, Inc., a North
Carolina corporation ("GPII"), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its
capacity as the representative of the GPII shareholders, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")
pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with
and into GPII and GPII will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Advance (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is anticipated to
close early 2014. Under the terms of the Merger

Table of Contents
Agreement, we intend to acquire GPII for a transaction value of approximately $2.1 billion consisting of approximately $1.3
billion in cash to GPII's shareholders, the repayment of approximately $697 million of GPII debt and approximately $99 million
in make-whole fees and transaction related expenses.
GPII is a leading privately held distributor and supplier of original equipment and aftermarket replacement automotive
products for commercial markets operating under the CARQUEST and WORLDPAC brands.
The consummation of the Acquisition is subject to closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, the absence of a "material adverse effect" with respect to GPII
and other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides for certain termination rights for
both Advance and GPII.
In connection with the parties' entry into the Merger Agreement, holders of shares of GPII capital stock with voting power
sufficient to approve the Merger Agreement have committed to vote, and have voted, their shares in favor of approval of the
Merger Agreement.
Advance, Merger Sub and GPII each made certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement,
including, among other things, covenants by GPII to conduct its business in the ordinary course during the interim period between
the signing of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Acquisition.
The Acquisition will create the largest automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America, with pro forma net sales of
approximately $9.1 billion for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and more than 70,000 team members. The acquisition of
GPII is expected to accelerate Advance's growth strategy and enhance shareholder value through the following strategic benefits:

· Creates Market Leader--(1) #1 automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America with a balanced platform for

growth between DIY and Commercial, (2) #1 distributor of import automotive parts and (3) the largest automotive
aftermarket business-to-business e-commerce platform in North America.

· Delivers Scale--Provides Advance with complete coast-to-coast coverage across North America, creating a company

with scale, reach and expanded growth opportunities benefiting shareholders, customers and team members. This
presence in new markets allows Advance the ability to expand its geographic footprint in an efficient manner.

· Accelerates Complementary Market Opportunities--Expands Advance's product and category offerings in both core
and new product lines (for example, paint and heavy duty), creates new sales channel with independent customers and

broadens ability to grow with attractive customer segments such as larger bay garages, import specialists, national
accounts and fleet and government programs.

· Strengthens Leading Brands and Capabilities--Enhances Advance's ability to serve customers through the transfer of
CARQUEST's commercial capabilities and team member parts knowledge into Advance stores while expanding DIY

into select company operated CARQUEST stores. The combination expands key capabilities in customer service
through enhanced daily replenishment and customer loyalty programs to a larger truck fleet and a significantly expanded
commercial sales team.
The Financing
In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a debt commitment letter with a syndicate of commercial banks (the
"debt financing sources"). Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, the debt financing sources committed to
provide up to $1.05 billion in financing for the Acquisition, consisting of a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility with a
$450 million tranche and a $600 million tranche (the "Bridge Facility"). If the Bridge Facility is not drawn, we will have to pay a
$4.2 million fee. Additionally, we

plan to enter into new senior unsecured credit facilities, with substantially the same terms as our Existing Revolving Credit
Facility (as defined herein), prior to consummation of the Acquisition. The proposed New Credit Facilities are expected to
consist of a $600 million term loan (the "New Term Loan Facility") and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the "New
Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the New Term Loan Facility, the "New Credit Facilities"). We anticipate that the
net proceeds from this offering, together with the New Credit Facilities and cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund the
Acquisition, in which case we would not expect to borrow under the Bridge Facility. It is possible that we will not consummate
the New Credit Facilities on the anticipated terms or at the anticipated aggregate principal amounts, or at all. This offering is not
contingent on the completion of the Acquisition or the New Credit Facilities. If the Acquisition does not occur or is abandoned
(as described under "Description of Notes--Special Optional Redemption") we will have the option to redeem the notes.
Risks Facing our Company
Our business is subject to numerous risks. You should consider carefully the information set forth in the section entitled
"Risk Factors" beginning on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement and all other information contained in or incorporated by
reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before investing in the notes.
Advance is a Delaware corporation and the address of its principal executive offices is 5008 Airport Road, Roanoke,
