Wheels Discount Auto Supply

Fairly close AI fantasy location

 Fays Drugs had Wheels Discount Auto Supply, where you could get parts for your car at the lowest prices. When the parent company were sold to JCPenneys Eckerd, Wheels locations went to other chains naturally. Had to challenge myself again because I only know a couple current ones myself. Penneys (my family still used that name) close competitor Sears' Western Auto (forgot about them) bought Wheels' assets by 1996 prior to the pharmacy chains sale (so much for Sears, but we did them). Wheels later acquired National Auto Supply and Whitlock (new to me), yet it was in vain as all three chains would be no more. There were a total of 36, but I'll be lucky to find half of them (small towns and/or areas I know are easier to guess).
