The Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack (NYSE:PBY),
the nation's leading automotive aftermarket service and retail chain,
today announced it has reorganized its field structure.
Under the new structure, the number of divisions has decreased from
eight (four retail and four service) to six. One divisional vice
president is now responsible for all aspects of service, retail and
commercial operations in each of the six divisions.
Similarly, where area directors were previously responsible for either
service or retail for between 14 and 19 stores, an area director is now
responsible for all lines of business for an average of nine stores.
“With this reorganization, our field
leadership team now oversees less expansive geographic areas, allowing
them to build stronger relationships with store management, frontline
associates and customers,” says Pep Boys CEO
Mike Odell. “We believe that providing our
divisional vice presidents and area directors with total store
responsibility better positions our stores to put our customers first
and drive sales across all lines of business.”
