Autochoice acquired by Uni-Select

Atlantic Canadian jobber Autochoice Parts & Paints has been acquired by Uni-Select to be part of its growing corporate store network.

Autochoice, previously an Auto Parts Plus member under Uni-Select, has 18 branches along the east coast, with headquarters in Dartmouth, N.S. Other branch locations include Halifax, St. John’s, Fredericton, Moncton and Charlottetown. The company has about 150 people working throughout its chain.

“With this transaction, we add a solid team and a stable business organization carrying diverse product categories including automotive parts, paint and body supplies to the Uni‑Select family,” said Brent Windom, president and chief operating officer of Uni-Select’s Canadian Automotive Group. “These Atlantic stores are a very nice addition to our growing corporate store network in Canada and they complement our strong network of independent jobber customers.”
