Ownership
O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. was founded in 1957 and is headquartered in Springfield, Missouri. O'Reilly Auto Parts completed an initial public stock offering on April 23, 1993, with shares trading on the NASDAQ market under the symbol ORLY, making it a corporate chain with national/international operations.
Local Sourcing
O'Reilly currently partners with hundreds of suppliers ranging in size from one-person companies to billion-dollar organizations based in countries all over the world. The company's percentage of goods sourced from China is currently in the mid-20s range, indicating primarily global/national sourcing with minimal local Wisconsin sourcing.
Community Involvement
The O'Reilly Automotive Foundation was established in 2020 to serve charitable organizations and build civic pride in the communities where we serve. O'Reilly presented a total of $750,000 in grants from its corporate grantmaking fund in December 2024. However, community involvement appears concentrated in Springfield (headquarters) rather than Madison specifically.
Local Workforce
O'Reilly Auto Parts pays its employees an average of $14.52 an hour, with hourly pay ranging from an average of $10.61 to $20.86 an hour. Employees report that low pay increases turnover and removes the knowledge that would truly set O'Reilly apart from the competition.
Revenue Retention
The trailing twelve month revenue for O'Reilly Automotive Stores is $17.5B, virtually all of which flows to corporate headquarters and shareholders rather than staying in Madison as profits, wages, or local reinvestment.
Local Presence
This is a heavily templated corporate franchise page with chain-wide boilerplate copy (identical service descriptions, corporate programs like O'Rewards and VeriScan), location selector navigation, and no owner/staff names, local supplier references, or personality. Only the Madison/WI reference and local phone number provide minimal local signals.
