McKay NAPA Auto Parts, headquartered in Litchfield, is preparing to open a Chatham location. The former Family Video store at 210 N. Main St. is currently undergoing renovations.
McKay Corporation was established in 1937 and became aligned with NAPA in 2003. Since then, McKay has expanded from 16 stores to 26 stores, stretching from Mt. Sterling to the north, Nashville to the south, west to Jerseyville and east to Charleston.
Earl Flack has served as president of the family owned and operated company since 2012. The business has nearly 200 employees and is currently hiring for the new Chatham location, which is scheduled to open in August.
“The only way to hang around this business long, as in eight decades, is by having great people work together with us,” said Flack. He added, “I’m sure the founder, Jim’s father, Vincent J. ‘Mac’ McKay, and Mac’s oldest son, former president Bob McKay, would have agreed that we’ve always had the best team together throughout the years.”
