Well, that was fun! Teammates from across North America - Arizona, Indiana, New York, and Canada - flew into our Addison, IL home office to compete in the Olympic Games Bags (cornhole) finals! The day was filled with great food (burgers, hot dogs, pasta salad, potato salad, snow cones, cotton candy…you name it!) and even better company. We also had a dunk tank where we raised money for LLS Light the Night and watched our leaders, including our new Parts Town Unlimited CEO, Bill, take the plunge! It was an amazing day of food, fun and team spirit. At Parts Town, we don’t just build skills together - we build community. Just another reminder why we love this Town!

This summer, our company came together for an unforgettable Company-Wide Olympic Games and it was nothing short of amazing. From noodle hockey to individual games to creative team events, every department brought their energy, teamwork, and competitive spirit. Laughter echoed through the week as colleagues from all over the business cheered each other on, celebrated small victories and enjoyed some well-deserved fun outside of our usual work routines. The best part? It wasn’t just about winning, it was about connection. People who rarely cross paths in their day-to-day roles got to collaborate, compete, and share in the experience. It reminded us that we’re more than just coworkers; we’re a community! Events like this are a great example of why our culture stands out: - We take time to celebrate and connect - We encourage creativity and teamwork - We know that a little fun fuels a lot of engagement A huge thank you to our culture team for making this possible and to every participant for bringing your A-game (and your best team spirit). Can’t wait to see what next year’s games bring!
