We had a fantastic Business After 5 on April 16 hosted by CARQUEST Auto Parts, a proud, locally owned third-generation family business serving our community since 1953!
Mark Blanc and his family not only run the Monroe location but also operate stores in Janesville, Freeport, Dixon, and Mendota. The Monroe store houses over 135,000 auto parts, with about 80% of their business supporting local repair shops—and yes, they also offer retail service for individual customers and farmers alike!
Beyond parts and service, CARQUEST gives back in a big way — having donated over $200,000 to Hire Heroes, a nonprofit helping U.S. servicemen and women, and their spouses, find rewarding careers here at home ????????????
Shop local. Support community. Drive impact.
Thank you, CARQUEST, for being a shining example of what local business is all about! ????
