[Continued from Page 1] So, who could be a buyer? Tony Cristello and Allen Hatzimanolis of BB&T Capital Markets took a look at this in a report dated Jan. 24. Right off the bat, the analysts said they don’t foresee any strategic buyers that would be interested in Pep Boys … Not Advance Auto Parts. Not AutoZone. Not O’Reilly Automotive, Monro Muffler Brake, the Genuine Parts Co. or Carquest. “Although, it’s possible that an international buyer could have some interest similar to when Sumitomo acquired TBC in 2005 for purposes of distribution or when Japan’s Autobacs Seven acquired Strauss Auto (similar model to Pep Boys) out of Chapter 11 in 2007,” Cristello and Hatzimanolis admitted in their report. BB&T’s prediction is that, if Pep Boys was to be bought, the buyer would be a private equity group, “perhaps looking to merge the assets of Pep Boys with another auto aftermarket holding company.” The issue, however, with Pep Boys — the BB&T report states — remains a structural one in that the company’s approximately 560 Supercenter locations (at 20,000-plus square feet each) lack critical market density and sales productivity. “A potential solution (currently in process) could be found in the development of a hub-and-spoke model, in which Pep Boys would acquire a number (likely north of 2,000) of service stores over time and use its larger Supercenter locations for distribution,” Cristello and Hatzimanolis contend in their report. “While this process would take a number of years (perhaps seven to ten), we believe that this is the only way in which the Pep Boys model could be restructured successfully. That being said, while a multiyear build-out of spoke service locations may be the best option for Pep Boys, we are not sure that a private equity firm looking to consolidate the still very fragmented automotive service market would get the best return by buying Pep Boys and using its large Supercenters for in-house distribution.” “Pep Boys still has great brand equity, but we just find it difficult to believe that a private equity firm is likely to bring enough service stores in tow for a potential asset combination with Pep Boys to justify the substantial investment in its current Supercenter formats,” the analysts conclude. Nonetheless, BB&T can’t rule out the possibility of a private equity buy out of Pep Boys. This isn’t the first time Pep Boys has been put up on the block. Back in 2006, the company’s board of directors engaged Goldman Sachs, its long-term financial advisor, to explore strategic and financial alternatives for Pep Boys. The process concluded later that year with no potential investors coming forward with an offer to purchase the entire company. What’s different today?, BB&T asked in its report. “In our minds, Pep Boys has always been considered for sale, particularly given the very activist board/shareholder involvement associated with the company. The last ‘official’ time we can recall Pep Boys exploring strategic options it was a much different company: poorly run with limited strategic vision, bad inventory mix and a model that, in our opinion, was simply structurally flawed. If there was any point in time where private equity or a strategic buyer should have been interested, it was then,” Cristello and Hatzimanolis wrote. MEYER DISTRIBUTING ANNOUNCES MEMPHIS, TN CROSS-DOCK Meyer Distributing, an automotive specialty products company based in Jasper, IN, has added a new location in Memphis, TN. This new cross-dock will have a direct feed from Meyer’s Jasper hub distribution center and will allow the company to provide early morning route delivery to the Memphis metro area four days per week. “The new Memphis cross-dock is lined up strategically with our busy Dallas, TX shipping lane and will provide the Memphis metro area with the industry’s highest level of service,” said Jason Braun, executive vice president. “The new Memphis dock is just one of many in the plans for 2011 as we continue to expand our logistical network to better serve our customers.” POLK INVENTORY EFFICIENCY AWARD NOMINATIONS OPEN Applications are now being accepted for the 2011 Polk Inventory Efficiency Awards, which honor aftermarket retailers and distributors, as well as manufacturers, that excel in inventory and supply chain efficiency.

  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

    New On Video & DVD Hellboy 2: The Golden Army With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world's toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army." Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar®-nominated director Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth," "Hellboy"). After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman). Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development--pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and proto- plasmic mystic Johann the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who's accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him. Universal Tropic Thunder Ben Stiller's satirical look at Hollywood, Tropic Thunder concerns the production of an epic Vietnam War film that quickly derails thanks to the giant egos of everyone involved in the production.
