O’Reilly Auto Parts construction site work revs up in Fulton

FULTON — Construction site work continues on Aug. 3 for the future O’Reilly Auto Parts store in the city of Fulton. O’Reilly Auto Parts Enterprises LLC purchased the property at 28 W. First St. in Fulton back on May 30, 2017 from Rome Gas Inc. for $350,000, CNYBJ reported in its Aug. 7, 2017 issue. The site was formerly home to Fast Lane Car Wash. Crews have leveled the car-wash structure and are preparing the site for construction of a new building for the O’Reilly Auto Parts store. O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: ORLY) — headquartered in Springfield, Missouri — operates more than 5,400 auto-parts retail stores across the U.S. under the name O’Reilly Auto Parts. The growing chain had no stores in Central New York three years ago when it bought the Fulton property. O’Reilly Auto Parts has since opened stores in Solvay, Cicero, Chittenango, Central Square, Baldwinsville, Oswego, and Auburn. The 28 W. First St. property in Fulton, situated on 0.61 acres, is assessed at $350,000 for 2020 and has a total market value of $360,825, according to Oswego County’s digital property records.
