What's that planned by Sonic on South Houston Levee in Collierville?
AutoZone is planning a new store in Collierville.
The Memphis-based chain has proposed constructing a 7,381-square-foot retail auto parts store at 3370 S. Houston Levee Road, according to staff reports from the town. The development would be located on 1.39 acres of property on the east side of South Houston Levee Road, south of Winchester Boulevard within the Winchester/Houston Levee Commercial Center.
The AutoZone Auto Parts store would be between the Express Mart Shell Station convenience store and Sonic Drive-In on South Houston Levee Road.

AutoZone carries new and remanufactured hard parts, maintenance items and accessories for cars, SUVs and light trucks, as well as provides in-store services such as battery charging, battery testing and check engine light diagnostics.
AutoZone — which was founded as Auto Shack in Arkansas in 1979 — has been headquartered in Memphis for more than 30 years, while operating out of its Downtown Memphis Store Support Center at 123 S. Font St.
As of February, AutoZone had nearly 7,800 stores in the U.S., Mexico and Brazil. It has an existing Collierville location at 995 W. Poplar Ave.
A request for approval of a conditional use permit for the new store on South Houston Levee Road will go in front of the Collierville Planning Commission on April 6. The suburb's Design Review Commission will hold a non-voting work session to provide feedback on the project on April 9.
The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen will review the request and make a final decision on the conditional use permit during its April 27 meeting, according to staff reports.
