O’Reilly Auto Parts Set to Break Ground in Colfax, CA
The Historic Colfax Downtown Association is proud to welcome O’Reilly Auto Parts as the newest addition to our growing business community. Approved by the City Council on July 24, 2024, the new store will be located at 781 South Auburn Street and will feature a 6,890-square-foot retail space on a 0.768-acre lot.
Construction will soon be underway, marking an exciting step forward for Colfax’s commercial corridor. Once complete, the store will provide a convenient source for automotive parts and supplies—serving local residents, mechanics, and travelers alike.
A Welcome Addition to Our Town
Colfax has always been a community where tradition meets progress. The arrival of O’Reilly Auto Parts fits right into that spirit, offering modern convenience while contributing to the economic health of our town.
The store’s location on Auburn Street, next to the Colfax Best Western Hotel, ensures high visibility and easy access, and its design will include landscaping and features that complement the surrounding area. As a brand with more than 6,400 stores across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada, O’Reilly’s presence signals confidence in Colfax’s potential for growth.
About O’Reilly Auto Parts
O’Reilly Auto Parts began in Springfield, Missouri, in 1957 with only 13 team members. From day one, the company built its culture around respect—for employees, customers, business partners, and the communities they serve.
Today, O’Reilly is the dominant auto parts retailer in its market areas, offering thousands of products and employing knowledgeable staff who provide hands-on service. Their expansion into Colfax, CA continues a long tradition of community engagement and customer care.
Boosting the Local Economy
The new store will bring both short-term and long-term economic benefits:
- Jobs during construction and store operations
- Increased traffic to nearby businesses
- Sales tax revenue to support city services
Local repair shops and automotive enthusiasts will benefit from faster access to parts and supplies, helping them serve customers more efficiently.
Looking Ahead to Opening Day
Once the store is complete, we anticipate a grand opening celebration that will bring together city leaders, O’Reilly representatives, and the Colfax community. This will be more than just a ribbon-cutting—it will be a moment to celebrate growth, opportunity, and the shared future of our town.
The Historic Colfax Downtown Association invites everyone to join us in welcoming O’Reilly Auto Parts to our community. We look forward to seeing their green-and-white sign become a familiar part of Auburn Street and to building a strong relationship with this new neighbor.
