## Story

FullSpeed Automotive® has announced the opening of four new corporate locations. These new stores will be operating under the Grease Monkey brand.

Last month, Grease Monkey opened two locations in Minnesota in White Bear Lake (4561 Lake Ave.) and Stillwater (1674 Market Drive). Coming this month, the company will be opening two Illinois locations in South Elgin (225 S. Randall Rd.) and Kankakee (1650 W. Court Street).

“The Midwest is ideal for our expansion,” said Kevin Kormondy, Chief Executive Officer of FullSpeed Automotive. “We have seen strong performance and brand awareness throughout the Midwest."

In an effort to continue to innovate the automotive aftermarket industry and create a better experience for customers, FullSpeed will soon unveil its “Store of the Future” that will use all-new technology, hone in on the customer-experience, and create an environment the industry has not yet seen before.
