Advance Auto Parts Plans a Somerdale Location Across From Patco Station

Advance Auto Parts Plans a Somerdale Location Across From Patco Station

Auto parts retailer Advance Auto plans a new retail store in Somerdale NJ, in the Somerdale Square shopping center. They will be appearing at the Somerdale Planning/Zoning meeting on Wednesday January 29th for approval of signage.

Advance Auto is a large North Carolina based auto parts and accessory store with almost 5,000 locations.

The Somerdale Square shopping center where a new Advance Auto Parts store is planned, is that angled shopping center at the corner of White Horse Pike and White Horse Rd.  The large Lindenwold Patco station is across the street (White Horse Road)

At one time the Kennedy/Jefferson Health System was a large tenant on the left side of the building, but they have since moved on.

I became aware of this upcoming retail store from a public notice related to approvals requested for signage in support of the auto part retailer’s new location, as well as a use-variance for the effort to renovate an existing unit as a retail store.

I don’t have a lot of other details on this upcoming Somerdale location… I don’t know exactly where within the shopping center advance auto is moving in.  Since they’re still in the early stages there’s nothing online to give those details, and the leasing website for Somerdale Square has not been updated since seven years ago.

Across the White Horse Pike in Stratford is the Pep Boys Service Center which as you know that iconic brand originally also supported a full auto parts retail store. In 2021 Pep Boys decided to focus only on their service centers and closed their retail store aspect leaving many buildings with empty spaces.

For the Stratford location of Pepboys, another auto parts retailer stepped in to take over the space… Autozone.

42Freeway wrote about the then upcoming AutoZone Stratford location in October 2023. If the Advance Auto Parts store does move forward with opening Somerdale it will put the two auto parts retailers within 500 feet of each other.
