On my list of things that I thought would be coming to Nacogdoches soon, I will say, another auto parts store was not something that came to mind. I would've thought that Nacogdoches would already be set in that department. However, it looks like I would be wrong in that line of thinking.

New AutoZone Store Coming to Northview Plaza

Yes, it's true. There is a new AutoZone store coming to Nacogdoches, and it's going to be located in the old Party 'N Things space. Don't believe me? Take a look at the sign that's hanging on the pillar in front of the store:

This kind of took me by surprise, considering that Nacogdoches already has one AutoZone location, two O'Reilly locations, and one ABC Auto Parts location. Then, on top of those, there are several mechanic shops throughout the town.

The current AutoZone location is at 707 North Street, next door to Zipps Liquor. With a brand-new location coming to town, I'm not sure if this current location will be closing down and consolidating into the new one, or if the people of Nacogdoches will have a choice between two stores.
