Auto parts retailer Carquest by Advance has a new location in Boone, Iowa that is celebrating its opening, according to a press release.
The store located at 1115 SE Marshall Street officially opened on July 31 and is owned and operated by Darin and Taloyre Keller, who also operate Keller Excavating, Inc. in Boone. The Carquest store measures 6,000 square feet and has a staff of six employees.
A grand opening for the store will be held on September 8, during which a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be hosted by the Boone County Chamber of Commerce. Free ice cream will be provided as well as giveaways for customers.
During the ceremony, a $500 Carquest gift card donation will also be presented to Gilbert High School to help pay for tools and training equipment for its shop class.
The following day, a classic car show will then be held at the store throughout the afternoon.
“Taloyre and I have been business owners in Boone for many years, and we’re thankful for this wonderful opportunity to join the Carquest family as store partners,” said Darin Keller. “We have an incredibly strong team in place, with many years of automotive and heavy-duty equipment experience.”
