It is a part of the automotive industry that deals with the manufacturing, remanufacturing, distribution, retailing, and installation of all vehicle parts, chemicals, tools, equipment and accessories for light and heavy vehicles. The company also looks after processes that concerned with the after sale of the automobile by the original equipment manufacturer to the consumer.
The origin of the store dates back to 1921, when Emanuel (Manny) Rosenfeld, Maurice L. (Moe), and W. Graham (Jack) Jackson opened the first store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The name of the store was “Pep Auto Supplies “taken from a product carried in the store “Pep Valve Grinding Compound.”
The change of the name from ‘Pep Auto Supplies’ to ‘Pep Boys’ is itself an interesting story. Once a neighborhood cop tells his driver to see the ‘the boys down at Pep.’ And later on this phrase was twisted and ‘Pep Boys’ came into existence. The portion, “Manny, Moe and Jack” was alter added into the name after Manny and Moe saw a dress shop called “Minnie, Maude, and Mabel’s” in California. Later on in 1933, the company’s West Coast operation was opened under the supervision of Murray Rosenfeld, brother of Manny. Till 1986, the company had almost 159 stores throughout the United States.
Currently, the flagship of ‘Pep Boys’ has 563 stores and over 6,000 service bays in 36 states of the United States. Also, the company has extended its base to Puerto Rico as well. The company not only serves vehicle repairs, maintenance capabilities but also, serves the commercial auto parts delivery market in the United States.
