It used to be you shopped Murray's Discount Auto Parts on Stadium from east to west. Now it's O'Reilly Auto Parts, and you shop it north to south. Murray's changed the layout of its Ann Arbor store last summer and changed its name in early December.

Originally an independent Detroit area chain, Murray's was most recently part of CSK Automotive. O'Reilly acquired CSK in 2008. "We're converting those stores over to the O'Reilly format," says company spokesperson Mark Merz. "We're remaking the store into an auto supply store."
