AutoZone turned 19 years old on July 4, 1998. Our first store was in Forrest City, Arkansas, and was the laboratory for developing many of our customer service ideas. Those ideas became the foundation of the AutoZone pledge: AutoZoners always put customers first. We know our parts and products. Our stores look great. And we’ve got the best merchandise at the right price. Today over 38,000 people work for AutoZone, TruckPro and ALLDATA. All share the pride and responsibility of working for the leader in their respective industries.
