In case you have not heard already, Summit Racing Equipment has opened a 32,000-square foot superstore in southeast Arlington at 2200 E Interstate 20. The huge retail store is connected to a massive warehouse where they will store all their inventory of auto parts. All together the facility is 750,000-square feet and covers 48 acres!
Summit Racing Equipment is the world’s largest e-commerce, mail order and retailer of top performance auto parts. For more than 4 decades, Summit has been providing customers with parts for almost any kind of racing, classic and muscle cars, trucks, SUVs and off-roading vehicles.
The Arlington location will be the company’s fourth retail and distribution site in the USA. The state-of-the-art distribution center stocks millions of parts from more than 1,500 manufacturers and will allow one-day delivery on orders for in-stock parts to customers in most of Texas and neighboring states.
The Arlington location opened at the beginning of this month and is now open to the public 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week (except major holidays). When asked about why they chose this location, Summit representatives had this to say… “Since DFW is a regional distribution hub, locating here allows us to provide fast one- to two-day delivery to our customers in Texas and neighboring states, plus local enthusiasts can visit the Retail Super Store and see what Summit Racing has to offer and talk with experienced sales staff about their projects.”
Local garages, classic car restoration shops and other businesses in the motorsports industry in the greater DFW area will all benefit from Summit’s presence. They will be able to receive parts in a fraction of the time. Summit has 3 other distribution centers in Ohio, northern Nevada and Georgia and they have been all very successful at delivering parts in a timely fashion, but this new location in Texas will really be a key to the success for Summit in the central south. Approximately 250 jobs were also created just for this location as well. It’s a welcomed win-win for Summit and DFW alike!
