MN guys: Cottens NAPA stores are no longer owned by "Cottens".

I just got off the phone with a good friend, and ex-coworker, and it turns out Mike Cotten sold all 8 stores "about a week ago or so". No advanced notice or word of any sort was given to his employees, just an after-the-fact email. (Talk about chickensh**!)

Done. Sold. End of "Cottens".

All 8 stores are now (or soon will be) Corporate/Genuine Parts Co (GPC) stores from here on out.

Nothing surprising there. For what it's worth I promise he signed a confidentiality agreement at the start of the process. That's a norm, and he can't say anything until it's final.
