Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation: Description of Business Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and subsidiaries is a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America, serving both professional installers (“Professional”) and “do-it-yourself” (“DIY”) customers. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us and include the accounts of Advance Auto Parts, Inc., including, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated (“Advance Stores”) and Neuse River Insurance Company, Inc., and their subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Advance,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). As of December 28, 2019 , our operations are comprised of 4,877 stores and 160 branches primarily within the United States, with additional locations in Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our stores operate primarily under the trade names “Advance Auto Parts,” “Carquest” and “Autopart International,” and our branches operate under the “Worldpac” trade name. In addition, we served 1,253 independently owned Carquest branded stores across the same geographic locations served by our stores and branches in addition to Mexico, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos and the British Virgin Islands. Accounting Period Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the end of December. All references herein for the years “ 2019 ,” “ 2018 ” and “ 2017 ” represent the fiscal years ended December 28, 2019 , December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 , which were all 52 weeks. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advance and its wholly owned subsidiaries prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During 2019, we made an out-of-period correction, which increased Cost of sales by $13.0 million , related to received not invoiced inventory. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies	Dec. 28, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies: Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and money market funds with original maturities of three months or less. Also, included in cash equivalents are credit card and debit card receivables from banks, which generally settle in less than four business days. Inventory Our inventory consists primarily of parts, batteries, accessories and other products used on vehicles that have reasonably long shelf lives and is stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of our merchandise inventory is primarily determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Under the LIFO method, our cost of sales reflects the costs of the most recently purchased inventories, while the inventory carrying balance represents the costs relating to prices paid in 2019 and prior years. We regularly review inventory quantities on-hand, consider whether we may have excess inventory based on our current approach for managing slower moving inventory and adjust the carrying value as necessary. Vendor Incentives We receive incentives in the form of reductions to amounts owed to and/or payments from vendors related to volume rebates and other promotional considerations. Many of these incentives are under long-term agreements in excess of one year, while others are negotiated on an annual basis or shorter. Advertising allowances provided as a reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable costs incurred to promote a vendor’s products are included as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) when the cost is incurred. Volume rebates and allowances that do not meet the requirements for offsetting in SG&A are recorded as a reduction to inventory as they are earned based on inventory purchases. Total deferred vendor incentives recorded as a reduction of Inventories were $173.8 million and $164.1 million as of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 . We recognize other promotional incentives earned under long-term agreements not specifically related to volume of purchases as a reduction to cost of sales. However, these incentives are not deferred as a reduction of inventory and are recognized based on the cumulative net purchases as a percentage of total estimated net purchases over the life of the agreement. Short-term incentives with terms less than one year are generally recognized as a reduction to cost of sales over the duration of the agreements. Amounts received or receivable from vendors that are not yet earned are reflected as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense when incurred; major improvements are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the account balances, with any gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation of land improvements, buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment and vehicles is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method. Depreciation of building and leasehold improvements is provided over the shorter of the original useful lives of the respective assets or the term of the lease using the straight-line method. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets We perform our evaluation for the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for our reporting units annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or when indications of potential impairment exist. These indicators would include a significant change in operating performance, the business climate, legal factors, competition, or a planned sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, among other factors. We assess qualitative factors such as current company performance and overall economic factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the quantitative goodwill test, we compare the carrying value of a reporting unit to its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill is written down for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the asset group level. Indefinite-lived intangibles are evaluated by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the future discounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows exceeds the carrying value, we conclude that no intangible asset impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment loss. We have five operating segments, defined as “Northern Division,” “Southern Division,” “Carquest Canada,” “Independents” and “Worldpac.” As each operating segment represents a reporting unit, goodwill is assigned to each reporting unit. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. When such an event occurs, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. These impairment evaluations involve estimates of asset useful lives and future cash flows. If the undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value based on quoted market prices or other valuation techniques (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Self-Insurance We are self-insured for general and automobile liability, workers’ compensation and health care claims of its employees, or Team Members, while maintaining stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit its total liability exposure. Expenses associated with these liabilities are calculated for (i) claims filed, (ii) claims incurred but not yet reported and (iii) projected future claims using actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry as well as our historical claims experience. We include the current and long-term portions of its self-insurance reserves in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Warranty Liabilities The warranty obligation on the majority of merchandise sold by us with a manufacturer’s warranty is the responsibility of our vendors. However, we have an obligation to provide customers replacement of certain merchandise at no cost or merchandise at a prorated cost if under a warranty and not covered by the manufacturer. As of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , our warranty liability primarily consisted of batteries with warranty coverage sold by us. We estimate our warranty obligation at the time of sale based on the historical return experience, sales level and cost of the respective product sold. To the extent vendors provide upfront allowances in lieu of accepting the obligation for warranty claims and the allowance is in excess of the related warranty expense, the excess is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales. Leases We lease certain store locations, distribution centers, office spaces, equipment and vehicles. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease unless external economic factors exist such that renewals are reasonably certain. In those instances, the renewal period would be included in the lease term to determine the period in which to recognize the lease expense. Most leases require us to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and other certain costs applicable to the leased premises. Leases for periods through December 29, 2018 were reported under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases (Topic 840) (“ASC 840”), including the disclosure requirements. Under ASC 840, differences between the calculated rent expense and cash payments were recorded as a liability within the Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities captions in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, based on the terms of the lease. Effective December 30, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), using the alternative transition method provided in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements . Using the alternative transition method, we applied the transition requirements at the effective date of ASU 2016-02 with the impact of initially applying ASU 2016-02 recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. In addition, as a practical expedient relating to our store locations, distribution centers, office spaces and vehicle leases, we elected not to separate lease components from nonlease components. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and lease liabilities of $2.4 billion as of December 30, 2018. At the date of adoption, there was a difference between the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recorded that included an adjustment to retained earnings, net of a $7.9 million deferred tax impact, which primarily resulted from the impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets. For 2019, the adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as substantially all of our leases are operating in nature. Fair Value Measurements A three-level valuation hierarchy, based upon observable and unobservable inputs, is used for fair value measurements. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and Level 3 - Instruments whose significant inputs are unobservable. Financial instruments are transferred in and/or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 at the beginning of the accounting period in which there is a change in the valuation inputs. Closed Facility Liabilities and Exit Activities We review the operating performance of our existing store locations and close or relocate certain stores identified as underperforming. For periods through December 29, 2018, and in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations , expenses accrued pertaining to closed facility exit activities are included in our closed facility liabilities, within Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and recognized in Cost of sales or SG&A in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations at the time of facility closure. As of December 29, 2018 , the closed facility liabilities, which comprised of the present value of the remaining lease obligations and management’s estimate of future costs of insurance, property tax and common area maintenance expenses, reduced by the present value of estimated revenues from subleases and lease buyouts, were $42.3 million . As a result of our transition to ASU 2016-02 on December 30, 2018, our lease liabilities for closed facilities are included within the lease liability recorded in Other current liabilities and Noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and the operating lease right-of-use assets recorded upon transition was recorded net of the previously recorded closed facility lease obligation. Employees receiving severance benefits as the result of a store closing or other restructuring activity are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive benefits. Severance benefits are recognized over the related service period. Other restructuring costs, including costs to relocate employees, are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. Share-Based Payments We provide share-based compensation to our eligible Team Members and Board of Directors. We are required to exercise judgment and make estimates when determining the (i) fair value of each award granted and (ii) projected number of awards expected to vest. We calculate the fair value of all share-based awards at the date of grant and use the straight-line method to amortize this fair value as compensation cost over the requisite service period. Revenues Revenue for periods through December 30, 2017 was reported under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) . We recognized revenue at the time the sale is made, at which time our walk-in customers took immediate possession of the merchandise or same-day delivery was made to our Professional delivery customers, which included certain independently owned store locations. For e-commerce sales, revenue was recognized either at the time of pick-up at one of our store locations or at the time of shipment depending on the customer’s order designation. Sales were recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimated the reduction to sales and cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience. Effective December 31, 2017, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The results of applying Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach were insignificant and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business process, controls or systems. ASC 606 defines a performance obligation as a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is considered the unit of account. The majority of our contracts have one single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. Discounts and incentives are treated as separate performance obligations. We allocate the contract’s transaction price to each of these performance obligations separately using explicitly stated amounts or our best estimate using historical data. Additionally, we estimate and record gift card breakage as redemptions occur. In accordance with ASC 606 revenue is recognized at the time the sale is made, at which time our walk-in customers take immediate possession of the merchandise or same-day delivery is made to our Professional delivery customers, which include certain independently-owned store locations. Payment terms are established for our Professional delivery customers based on pre-established credit requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the customer and generally range from 1 to 30 days. Based on the nature of receivables, no significant financing components exist. For e-commerce sales, revenue is recognized either at the time of pick-up at one of our store locations or at the time of shipment depending on the customer's order designation. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate the reduction to Net sales and Cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience. We provide assurance type warranty coverage primarily on batteries, brakes and struts whereby we are required to provide replacement product at no cost or a reduced cost for a set period of time. The following table summarizes financial information for each of our product groups. Year Ended December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 December 30, 2017 Percentage of Sales, by Product Group Parts and Batteries 67 % 66 % 65 % Accessories and Chemicals 21 % 20 % 20 % Engine Maintenance 11 % 13 % 14 % Other 1 % 1 % 1 % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % Receivables, net consist primarily of receivables from Professional customers. We grant credit to certain Professional customers who meet our pre-established credit requirements. Accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value. We regularly review accounts receivable balances and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We consider the following factors when determining if collection is reasonably assured: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic and industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. We control credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and accounts receivable and credit monitoring procedures. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes actual product cost, warranty costs, vendor incentives, cash discounts on payments to vendors, costs associated with operating our distribution network, including payroll and benefits costs, occupancy costs and depreciation, in-bound freight-related costs from our vendors, impairment of inventory resulting from store closures and costs associated with moving merchandise inventories from our distribution centers to stores, branch locations and customers. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses SG&A includes payroll and benefits costs for store and corporate Team Members, occupancy costs of store and corporate facilities, depreciation and amortization related to store and corporate assets, share-based compensation expense, advertising, self-insurance, costs of consolidating, converting or closing facilities, including early termination of lease obligations, severance and impairment charges, professional services and costs associated with our Professional delivery program, including payroll and benefit costs, and transportation expenses associated with moving merchandise inventories from stores and branches to customer locations. Advertising Costs We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense, net of qualifying vendor promotional funds, was $117.3 million , $120.9 million and $102.8 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 . Vendor promotional funds, which reduced advertising expense, amounted to $45.7 million and $26.9 million and $33.3 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 . Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, and revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Losses from foreign currency transactions, which are included in Other income, net, were $1.7 million , 5.0 million and $4.0 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 . Income Taxes We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income taxes reflect the net income tax effect of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax reporting purposes. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period of the enactment date. We recognize tax benefits and/or tax liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts as we must determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis or when new information becomes available to management. The reevaluations are based on many factors, including but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, successfully settled issues under audit, expirations due to statutes of limitations and new federal or state audit activity. Any change in either our recognition or measurement could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an increase to the tax accrual. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share of common stock has been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by including the effect of dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflects the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, outstanding deferred stock units and the impact of outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights (collectively “share-based awards”). Share-based awards containing performance conditions are included in the dilution impact as those conditions are met. Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Our CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about our five operating segments, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. We have one reportable segment as the five operating segments are aggregated due primarily to the economic and operational similarities of each operating segment as the stores and branches have similar characteristics, including the nature of the products and services, customer base and the methods used to distribute products and provide service to its customers. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires the Company to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held and not accounted for at fair value through net income. In November 2018, April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief , which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. The previously mentioned ASUs are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption of this new standard to have an insignificant impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We expect the adoption of this new standard to have an insignificant impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill At December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , the carrying amount of Goodwill in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $992.2 million and $990.2 million . The change in goodwill during 2019 and 2018 was $2.0 million and $4.1 million related to foreign currency translation. Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill On December 23, 2019, we purchased the DieHard® brand for a cash purchase price of $200.0 million, exclusive of $1.5 million of capitalizable transaction costs. This purchase gives us the right to sell DieHard® batteries and enables us to extend the DieHard® brand into other automotive and vehicular categories. We granted the seller an exclusive royalty-free, perpetual license to develop, market, and sell DieHard® branded products in non-automotive categories. We accounted for this transaction as a purchase of an indefinite-lived intangible asset, which is included within the Brands, trademarks and tradenames category below, and is not subject to amortization. Amortization expense was $31.7 million, $40.7 million and $47.4 million for 2019 , 2018 and 2017 . A summary of the composition of the gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of acquired intangible assets are presented in the following table: December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 (in thousands) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Amortized intangible assets: Customer relationships $ 350,352 $ (179,220 ) $ 171,132 $ 349,157 $ (148,889 ) $ 200,268 Favorable leases (1) — — — 27,139 (12,791 ) 14,348 Non-compete and other 38,256 (37,318 ) 938 37,875 (36,974 ) 901 388,608 (216,538 ) 172,070 414,171 (198,654 ) 215,517 Indefinite-lived intangible assets: Brands, trademark and tradenames 537,686 — 537,686 335,076 — 335,076 Total intangible assets $ 926,294 $ (216,538 ) $ 709,756 $ 749,247 $ (198,654 ) $ 550,593 (1) As a result of our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on December 30, 2018, favorable lease assets were derecognized through an opening adjustment to Operating lease right-of-use assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

We believe the carrying value of its other long-term debt approximates fair value. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Bank Debt On January 31, 2017, we entered into a new credit agreement that provides a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with Advance Stores, as Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent and replaces a prior credit agreement entered into in 2013. The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit of $200.0 million. We may request that the total revolving commitment be increased by an amount not exceeding $250.0 million during the term of the 2017 Credit Agreement. Voluntary prepayments and voluntary reductions of the revolving loan balance, if any, are permitted in whole or in part, at our option, in minimum principal amounts as specified in the 2017 Credit Agreement. The 2017 Credit Agreement terminates in January 2022; however, we may request one or two one-year extensions of the termination date prior to the first or second anniversary of the closing date. On January 31, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2017 Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), among Advance Stores, as Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., Administrative Agent. The Amendment: (i) provided for LIBOR replacement rates in the event that LIBOR is unavailable in the future; (ii) modified the definitions of the financial covenants (and the testing level relating thereto) with respect to a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum coverage ratio that we are required to comply with; and (iii) extended the termination date of the 2017 Credit Agreement from January 31, 2022 until January 31, 2023. We have the option to make one additional written request of the lenders to extend the termination date then in effect for one additional year. On January 10, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the 2017 Credit Agreement (the “ Second Amendment”), among Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, as Borrower, Advance Auto Parts, Inc., as Parent, the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders parties thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Second Amendment: (i) added a new definition of "Insurance Subsidiary" to the 2017 Credit Agreement meaning each wholly owned subsidiary of Parent that is maintained as a special purpose self-insurance subsidiary and any of its subsidiaries; (ii) provided that an Insurance Subsidiary does not serve as a Guarantor of the 2017 Credit Agreement; and (iii) provided that Insurance Subsidiaries are permitted to incur intercompany indebtedness. Insurance Subsidiaries will not be required to serve as Guarantors of the Parent's senior unsecured notes so long as they are not guarantors of the 2017 Credit Agreement. As of December 28, 2019 , we had no outstanding borrowings under 2017 Credit Agreement and borrowing availability was $1.0 billion. Under the 2017 Credit Agreement, we had no letters of credit outstanding as of December 28, 2019 . Interest on any borrowings on the revolver will be based at our option, on an adjusted LIBOR, plus a margin, or an alternate base rate, plus a margin. After an initial interest period, we may elect to convert a particular borrowing to a different type. The initial margins per annum for the revolving loan are 1.10% for the adjusted LIBOR and 0.10% for alternate base rate borrowings. A facility fee of 0.15% per annum is charged on the total revolving facility commitment, payable quarterly in arrears. Under the terms of the 2017 Credit Agreement, the interest rate spread and facility fee are based on our credit rating. The interest rate spread ranges from 0.91% to 1.50% for adjusted LIBOR borrowings and 0.00% to 0.50% for alternate base rate borrowings. The 2017 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants restricting the ability of: (a) Advance Stores and its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) create, incur or assume additional debt (only with respect to subsidiaries of Advance Stores), (ii) incur liens, (iii) guarantee obligations, and (iv) change the nature of its business conducted by itself and its subsidiaries; (b) Advance, Advance Stores and their subsidiaries to, among other things (i) enter into certain hedging arrangements, (ii) enter into restrictive agreements limiting their ability to incur liens on any of their property or assets, pay distributions, repay loans, or guarantee indebtedness of their subsidiaries; and (c) Advance, among other things, to change the holding company status of Advance. Advance Stores is required to comply with financial covenants with respect to a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum coverage ratio. The 2017 Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default, including non-payment defaults, covenant defaults and cross-defaults of Advance Stores’ other material indebtedness. We were in compliance with our financial covenants with respect to the 2017 Credit Agreement as of December 28, 2019 . As of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , we had $111.6 million and $100.5 million of bilateral letters of credit issued separately from the 2017 Credit Agreement, none of which were drawn upon. These bilateral letters of credit generally have a term of one year or less and primarily serve as collateral for our self-insurance policies. Senior Unsecured Notes Our 4.50% senior unsecured notes were issued in December 2013 at 99.69% of the principal amount of $450.0 million and are due December 1, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. Our 4.50% senior unsecured notes were issued in January 2012 at 99.968% of the principal amount of $300.0 million and are due January 15, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. Our 5.75% senior unsecured notes were issued in April 2010 at 99.587% of the principal amount of $300.0 million and were due May 1, 2020 (the “2020 Notes” or collectively with the 2023 Notes and the 2022 Notes, “the Notes”). The 2020 Notes carried interest at a rate of 5.75% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. On February 28, 2019, we redeemed all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes that were issued in April 2010 at 99.587% of the principal amount. We incurred charges relating to a make-whole provision and debt issuance costs of $10.1 million and $0.7 million resulting from the early redemption of our 2020 Notes, which are included in Other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advance served as the issuer of the Notes with certain of Advance’s domestic subsidiaries currently serving as subsidiary guarantors. The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”) among Advance, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time, at the redemption price described in the Indenture. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture for the Notes), we will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. The Notes are currently fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsubordinated and unsecured basis by each of the subsidiary guarantors. We will be permitted to release guarantees without the consent of holders of the Notes under the circumstances described in the Indenture: (i) upon the release of the guarantee of our other debt that resulted in the affected subsidiary becoming a guarantor of this debt; (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of the subsidiary guarantor; or (iii) upon our exercise of our legal or covenant defeasance option. The Indenture contains customary provisions for events of default including for: (i) failure to pay principal or interest when due and payable; (ii) failure to comply with covenants or agreements in the Indenture or the Notes and failure to cure or obtain a waiver of such default upon notice; (iii) a default under any debt for money borrowed by us or any of our subsidiaries that results in acceleration of the maturity of such debt, or failure to pay any such debt within any applicable grace period after final stated maturity, in an aggregate amount greater than $25.0 million without such debt having been discharged or acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within 10 days after receipt by us of notice of the default by the Trustee or holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; and (iv) events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting us and certain of its subsidiaries. In the case of an event of default, the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest may be accelerated. The Indenture also contains covenants limiting the ability of us and our subsidiaries to incur debt secured by liens and to enter into sale and lease-back transactions. Future Payments As of December 28, 2019 , the aggregate future annual maturities of long-term debt instruments are as follows: Year Amount (in thousands) 2020 $ — 2021 — 2022 300,000 2023 450,000 2024 — Thereafter — $ 750,000 Debt Guarantees We are a guarantor of loans made by banks to various independently owned Carquest-branded stores that are customers of ours totaling $26.4 million as of December 28, 2019 . These loans are collateralized by security agreements on merchandise inventory and other assets of the borrowers. The approximate value of the inventory collateralized by these agreements is $50.3 million as of December 28, 2019 . We believe that the likelihood of performance under these guarantees is remote.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes: U.S. Tax Reform On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act amended the Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, permanently lowering the corporate tax rate to 21% from the existing maximum rate of 35% , implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. We are required to remeasure deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the reporting period of enactment. The remeasurement of our net deferred income tax liability resulted in a $155.1 million income tax benefit in 2017. In 2017, we also recorded an estimated charge of $11.3 million to income tax expense primarily for the nonrecurring repatriation tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries and it is our intention to bring back the accumulated foreign earnings held as cash in the near term. Prospectively, any future foreign earnings will be utilized to grow and support our foreign operations and will be treated as being indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. During 2018, in conjunction with the completion of our 2017 U.S. income tax return, we identified a change in estimate to amounts previously estimated in 2017 for the remeasurement of the net deferred tax liability and nonrecurring repatriation tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries that resulted in a net tax benefit of $5.7 million . Our analysis under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 was completed in 2018. Provision for Income Taxes Provision for income taxes consists of the following: (in thousands) Current Deferred Total 2019 Federal $ 84,490 $ 13,618 $ 98,108 State 26,924 8,117 35,041 Foreign 16,288 1,413 17,701 $ 127,702 $ 23,148 $ 150,850 2018 Federal $ 72,598 $ 14,745 $ 87,343 State 19,571 3,439 23,010 Foreign 23,292 (2,228 ) 21,064 $ 115,461 $ 15,956 $ 131,417 2017 Federal $ 146,855 $ (146,741 ) $ 114 State 31,352 (3,437 ) 27,915 Foreign 17,810 (1,085 ) 16,725 $ 196,017 $ (151,263 ) $ 44,754 The provision for income taxes differed from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate due to: Year Ended (in thousands) December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 December 30, 2017 Income before provision for income taxes at statutory U.S. federal income tax rate (21% for 2019 and 2018 and 35% for 2017) $ 133,927 $ 116,605 $ 182,091 State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 27,682 18,178 18,145 Impact of the Act — (5,655 ) (143,756 ) Other, net (10,759 ) 2,289 (11,726 ) $ 150,850 $ 131,417 $ 44,754 Deferred Income Tax Assets (Liabilities) Temporary differences that give rise to significant deferred income tax assets (liabilities) are as follows: (in thousands) December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 Deferred income tax assets: Accrued expenses not currently deductible for tax $ 38,064 $ 40,066 Share-based compensation 9,540 7,780 Accrued medical and workers compensation 22,202 34,430 Net operating loss carryforwards 5,565 7,423 Operating lease liabilities 627,707 21,091 Other, net 8,430 8,390 Total deferred income tax assets before valuation allowances 711,508 119,180 Less: Valuation allowance (3,592 ) (8,694 ) Total deferred income tax assets 707,916 110,486 Deferred income tax liabilities: Property and equipment (116,277 ) (92,505 ) Inventories (183,428 ) (196,772 ) Intangible assets (136,078 ) (139,562 ) Operating lease right-of-use assets (606,146 ) — Total deferred income tax liabilities (1,041,929 ) (428,839 ) Net deferred income tax liabilities $ (334,013 ) $ (318,353 ) As of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , our net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards comprised of state NOLs of $159.4 million and $195.0 million. These NOLs may be used to reduce future taxable income and expire periodically through 2037. Due to uncertainties related to the realization of these NOLs in certain jurisdictions, as well as other credits available to us, we have recorded a valuation allowance of $3.6 million and $8.7 million as of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 . The amount of deferred income tax assets realizable, however, could change in the future if projections of future taxable income change. We have not recorded deferred taxes when earnings from foreign operations are considered to be indefinitely invested outside of the U.S. As of December 28, 2019 , these accumulated net earnings generated by our foreign operations were approximately $24.5 million , which did not include earnings deemed to be repatriated as part of the Act. It is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were repatriated. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The following table summarizes the activity of our gross unrecognized tax benefits: (in thousands) December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 December 30, 2017 Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of period $ 30,824 $ 22,665 $ 13,946 Increases related to prior period tax positions 4,243 5,435 8,077 Decreases related to prior period tax positions (2,277 ) (1,356 ) (2,331 ) Increases related to current period tax positions 3,741 5,425 5,644 Settlements (331 ) (14 ) (1,496 ) Expiration of statute of limitations (6,438 ) (1,331 ) (1,175 ) Unrecognized tax benefits, end of period $ 29,762 $ 30,824 $ 22,665 As of December 28, 2019 , December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 , the entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce our annual effective tax rate. During 2019 , we recorded expenses relating to income tax-related interest and penalties of $1.6 million due to uncertain tax positions included in Provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During 2018 , we recorded a gain relating to income tax-related interest and penalties of $0.9 million due to uncertain tax positions included in Provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During 2017 , we recorded expenses relating to income tax-related interest and penalties of $1.7 million due to uncertain tax positions included in Provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , we recorded a liability for potential interest of $4.9 million and $3.3 million and for potential penalties of $0.1 million and $0.1 million. We did not provide for any penalties associated with tax contingencies unless considered probable of assessment. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015.

Contingencies	Contingencies: We are currently and from time to time subject to litigation, claims and other disputes, including legal and regulatory proceedings, arising in the normal course of business. We record a loss contingency liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the final outcome of these legal matters cannot be determined, based on the facts presently known, it is management’s opinion that the final outcome of any pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Benefit Plans	Benefit Plans: 401(k) Plan We maintain a defined contribution benefit plan, which covers substantially all Team Members after one year of service and who have attained the age of 21. The plan allows for Team Member salary deferrals, which are matched at our discretion. Company contributions to these plans were $17.9 million , $15.0 million and $14.2 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 . Deferred Compensation We maintain a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain Team Members. This plan provides for a minimum and maximum deferral percentage of the Team Member’s base salary and bonus, as determined by the Retirement Plan Committee. We established and maintained a deferred compensation liability for this plan. As of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , these liabilities were $15.0 million and $12.2 million .

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended
Share-Based Compensation	Dec. 28, 2019
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation: Overview We grant share-based compensation awards to our Team Members and members of our Board of Directors as provided for under our 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2014 LTIP”), which was approved by our shareholders on May 14, 2014. In 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , we granted share-based compensation in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or deferred stock units (“DSUs”). No share-based compensation was granted in the form of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 . Our grants, which have three methods of measuring fair value, generally include a time-based service, a performance-based or a market-based portion, which collectively represent the target award. As of December 28, 2019 , the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable time-based and performance-based SARs was insignificant. In 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , all related activity related to SARs, including grants, exercises and forfeitures, was insignificant. At December 28, 2019 , there were 4.9 million shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2014 LTIP based on management’s current estimate of the probable vesting outcome for performance-based awards. We issue new shares of common stock upon exercise of SARs. Shares forfeited and shares withheld for payment of taxes due become available for reissuance and are included in availability. Availability also includes shares that became available for reissuance in connection with the exercise of SARs. Restricted Stock Units For time-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Time-based RSUs generally vest over a three-year period in equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. During the vesting period, holders of RSUs are entitled to receive dividend equivalents, but are not entitled to voting rights. For performance-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Performance-based awards generally may vest following a three-year period subject to our achievement of certain financial goals as specified in the grant agreements. Depending on our results during the three-year performance period, the actual number of awards vesting at the end of the period generally ranges from 0% to 200% of the performance award. Performance-based RSUs generally do not have dividend equivalent rights and do not have voting rights until the shares are earned and issued following the applicable performance period. The number of performance-based awards outstanding is based on the number of awards that we believed were probable of vesting at December 28, 2019 . Performance-based RSU’s granted during 2019 are presented as grants in the table at their respective target levels. The change in units based on performance represents the change in the number of granted awards expected to vest based on the updated probability assessment as of December 28, 2019 . Compensation expense for performance-based awards of $7.8 million , $5.4 million , and $13.6 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , was determined based on management’s estimate of the probable vesting outcome. For market-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model uses multiple input variables that determined the probability of satisfying the market condition requirements as follows: Monte Carlo Simulation Model Assumptions 2019 2018 2017 Risk-free interest rate (1) 2.5 % 2.4 % 1.6 % Expected dividend yield 0.2 % 0.2 % 0.2 % Expected stock price volatility (2) 33.5 % 34.0 % 26.2 % (1) The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate having term consistent with the vesting period of the award. (2) Expected volatility is determined based on historical volatility over a matching look-back period and is consistent with the correlation coefficients between our stock prices and our peer group. Additionally, we estimated a liquidity discount of 10.5% using the Chaffe Protective Put Method to adjust the fair value for the post-vest restrictions. Market-based RSU’s vesting depends on our relative total shareholder return among a designated group of peer companies during a three-year period and will be subject to a one-year holding period after vesting. The following table summarizes activity for time-based, performance-based and market-based RSUs in 2019 : Time-Based Performance-Based Market-Based (in thousands, except per share data) Number of Awards Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Number of Awards Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Number of Awards Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested at December 29, 2018 410 $ 132.49 125 $ 126.19 53 $ 133.78 Granted 279 157.31 39 159.80 28 165.70 Change in units based on performance — — (6 ) 120.72 — — Vested (164 ) 133.97 (17 ) 160.94 — — Forfeited (65 ) 140.11 (14 ) 128.10 (8 ) 142.01 Nonvested at December 28, 2019 460 $ 145.95 127 $ 132.03 73 145.08 The following table summarizes certain information concerning activity for time-based, performance-based and market-based RSUs: Year Ended (in thousands, except per share data) December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 December 30, 2017 Time-based: Weighted average fair value of RSUs granted $ 157.31 $ 130.12 $ 131.01 Total grant date fair value of RSUs vested $ 21,955 $ 17,527 $ 13,578 Performance-based: Weighted average fair value of RSUs granted $ 159.80 $ 119.08 $ 146.42 Total grant date fair value of RSUs vested $ 2,666 $ 9,224 $ 7,823 Market-based: Weighted average fair value of RSUs granted $ 165.70 $ 131.48 $ 139.33 Total grant date fair value of RSUs vested $ — $ — $ — As of December 28, 2019 , the maximum potential payout under our currently outstanding performance-based and market-based RSUs were 289 thousand and 146 thousand units. Other Considerations Total income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense for 2019 , 2018 and 2017 was $9.4 million , $6.8 million and $15.3 million . As of December 28, 2019 , there was $59.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to all share-based awards that was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”) We grant share-based awards annually to our Board of Directors in connection with its annual meeting of stockholders. These awards are granted in the form of DSUs as provided for in the Advance Auto Parts, Inc. Deferred Stock Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors and Selected Executives (“DSU Plan”). Each DSU is equivalent to one share of our common stock and will be distributed in common shares after the director’s service on the Board ends. DSUs granted vest over a one year service period. Additionally, the DSU Plan provides for the deferral of compensation earned in the form of (i) an annual retainer for directors, and (ii) wages for certain highly compensated Team Members. These DSUs are settled in common stock with the participants at a future date, or over a specified time period, as elected by the participants in accordance with the DSU Plan. We granted 12 thousand DSUs in 2019 . The weighted average fair value of DSUs granted during 2019 , 2018 and 2017 was $156.47 , $127.14 , and $125.34 . The DSUs are awarded at a price equal to the market price of our underlying common stock on the date of the grant. For 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , we recognized $1.9 million , $1.9 million and $1.5 million of share-based compensation expense for these DSU grants. Employee Stock Purchase Plan We also offer an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). Under the ESPP, eligible Team Members may elect salary deferrals to purchase our common stock at a discount of 10% from its fair market value on the date of purchase. There are annual limitations on the amounts a Team Member may elect of either $25 thousand per Team Member or 10% of compensation, whichever is less. As of December 28, 2019 , there were 1.0 million shares available to be issued under the ESPP.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting Period Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the end of December. All references herein for the years “ 2019 ,” “ 2018 ” and “ 2017 ” represent the fiscal years ended December 28, 2019 , December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 , which were all 52 weeks.
Basis of Presentation
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Polici_2

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 28, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Internal Use Software, Policy	We capitalized $29.1 million , $13.0 million and $11.2 million incurred for the development of internal use computer software during 2019 , 2018 and 2017 . These costs are currently classified in the Construction in progress category above, but once placed into service within the Furniture, fixtures equipment category, these costs will be depreciated on the straight-line method over 3 to 10 years.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and money market funds with original maturities of three months or less. Also, included in cash equivalents are credit card and debit card receivables from banks, which generally settle in less than four business days.
Inventory	Inventory Our inventory consists primarily of parts, batteries, accessories and other products used on vehicles that have reasonably long shelf lives and is stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of our merchandise inventory is primarily determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Under the LIFO method, our cost of sales reflects the costs of the most recently purchased inventories, while the inventory carrying balance represents the costs relating to prices paid in 2019 and prior years. We regularly review inventory quantities on-hand, consider whether we may have excess inventory based on our current approach for managing slower moving inventory and adjust the carrying value as necessary.
Vendor Incentives	Vendor Incentives We receive incentives in the form of reductions to amounts owed to and/or payments from vendors related to volume rebates and other promotional considerations. Many of these incentives are under long-term agreements in excess of one year, while others are negotiated on an annual basis or shorter. Advertising allowances provided as a reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable costs incurred to promote a vendor’s products are included as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) when the cost is incurred. Volume rebates and allowances that do not meet the requirements for offsetting in SG&A are recorded as a reduction to inventory as they are earned based on inventory purchases. Total deferred vendor incentives recorded as a reduction of Inventories were $173.8 million and $164.1 million as of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 . We recognize other promotional incentives earned under long-term agreements not specifically related to volume of purchases as a reduction to cost of sales. However, these incentives are not deferred as a reduction of inventory and are recognized based on the cumulative net purchases as a percentage of total estimated net purchases over the life of the agreement. Short-term incentives with terms less than one year are generally recognized as a reduction to cost of sales over the duration of the agreements. Amounts received or receivable from vendors that are not yet earned are reflected as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense when incurred; major improvements are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the account balances, with any gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation of land improvements, buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment and vehicles is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method. Depreciation of building and leasehold improvements is provided over the shorter of the original useful lives of the respective assets or the term of the lease using the straight-line method.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets We perform our evaluation for the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for our reporting units annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or when indications of potential impairment exist. These indicators would include a significant change in operating performance, the business climate, legal factors, competition, or a planned sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, among other factors. We assess qualitative factors such as current company performance and overall economic factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the quantitative goodwill test, we compare the carrying value of a reporting unit to its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill is written down for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at the asset group level. Indefinite-lived intangibles are evaluated by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the future discounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows exceeds the carrying value, we conclude that no intangible asset impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment loss. We have five operating segments, defined as “Northern Division,” “Southern Division,” “Carquest Canada,” “Independents” and “Worldpac.” As each operating segment represents a reporting unit, goodwill is assigned to each reporting unit.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets	Valuation of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. When such an event occurs, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. These impairment evaluations involve estimates of asset useful lives and future cash flows. If the undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value based on quoted market prices or other valuation techniques (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis).

Warranty Liabilities	Warranty Liabilities The warranty obligation on the majority of merchandise sold by us with a manufacturer’s warranty is the responsibility of our vendors. However, we have an obligation to provide customers replacement of certain merchandise at no cost or merchandise at a prorated cost if under a warranty and not covered by the manufacturer. As of December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , our warranty liability primarily consisted of batteries with warranty coverage sold by us. We estimate our warranty obligation at the time of sale based on the historical return experience, sales level and cost of the respective product sold. To the extent vendors provide upfront allowances in lieu of accepting the obligation for warranty claims and the allowance is in excess of the related warranty expense, the excess is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales.
Leases	Leases We lease certain store locations, distribution centers, office spaces, equipment and vehicles. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease unless external economic factors exist such that renewals are reasonably certain. In those instances, the renewal period would be included in the lease term to determine the period in which to recognize the lease expense. Most leases require us to pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and other certain costs applicable to the leased premises. Leases for periods through December 29, 2018 were reported under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases (Topic 840) (“ASC 840”), including the disclosure requirements. Under ASC 840, differences between the calculated rent expense and cash payments were recorded as a liability within the Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities captions in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, based on the terms of the lease. Effective December 30, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), using the alternative transition method provided in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements . Using the alternative transition method, we applied the transition requirements at the effective date of ASU 2016-02 with the impact of initially applying ASU 2016-02 recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. In addition, as a practical expedient relating to our store locations, distribution centers, office spaces and vehicle leases, we elected not to separate lease components from nonlease components. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and lease liabilities of $2.4 billion as of December 30, 2018. At the date of adoption, there was a difference between the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recorded that included an adjustment to retained earnings, net of a $7.9 million deferred tax impact, which primarily resulted from the impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets. For 2019, the adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as substantially all of our leases are operating in nature.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements A three-level valuation hierarchy, based upon observable and unobservable inputs, is used for fair value measurements. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and Level 3 - Instruments whose significant inputs are unobservable. Financial instruments are transferred in and/or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 at the beginning of the accounting period in which there is a change in the valuation inputs.
Closed Facility Liabilities and Exit Activities	Closed Facility Liabilities and Exit Activities We review the operating performance of our existing store locations and close or relocate certain stores identified as underperforming. For periods through December 29, 2018, and in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations , expenses accrued pertaining to closed facility exit activities are included in our closed facility liabilities, within Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and recognized in Cost of sales or SG&A in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations at the time of facility closure. As of December 29, 2018 , the closed facility liabilities, which comprised of the present value of the remaining lease obligations and management’s estimate of future costs of insurance, property tax and common area maintenance expenses, reduced by the present value of estimated revenues from subleases and lease buyouts, were $42.3 million . As a result of our transition to ASU 2016-02 on December 30, 2018, our lease liabilities for closed facilities are included within the lease liability recorded in Other current liabilities and Noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and the operating lease right-of-use assets recorded upon transition was recorded net of the previously recorded closed facility lease obligation. Employees receiving severance benefits as the result of a store closing or other restructuring activity are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive benefits. Severance benefits are recognized over the related service period. Other restructuring costs, including costs to relocate employees, are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
Share-Based Payments	Share-Based Payments We provide share-based compensation to our eligible Team Members and Board of Directors. We are required to exercise judgment and make estimates when determining the (i) fair value of each award granted and (ii) projected number of awards expected to vest. We calculate the fair value of all share-based awards at the date of grant and use the straight-line method to amortize this fair value as compensation cost over the requisite service period.
Revenue Recognition	Revenues Revenue for periods through December 30, 2017 was reported under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) . We recognized revenue at the time the sale is made, at which time our walk-in customers took immediate possession of the merchandise or same-day delivery was made to our Professional delivery customers, which included certain independently owned store locations. For e-commerce sales, revenue was recognized either at the time of pick-up at one of our store locations or at the time of shipment depending on the customer’s order designation. Sales were recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimated the reduction to sales and cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience. Effective December 31, 2017, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The results of applying Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach were insignificant and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business process, controls or systems. ASC 606 defines a performance obligation as a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is considered the unit of account. The majority of our contracts have one single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct. Discounts and incentives are treated as separate performance obligations. We allocate the contract’s transaction price to each of these performance obligations separately using explicitly stated amounts or our best estimate using historical data. Additionally, we estimate and record gift card breakage as redemptions occur. In accordance with ASC 606 revenue is recognized at the time the sale is made, at which time our walk-in customers take immediate possession of the merchandise or same-day delivery is made to our Professional delivery customers, which include certain independently-owned store locations. Payment terms are established for our Professional delivery customers based on pre-established credit requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the customer and generally range from 1 to 30 days. Based on the nature of receivables, no significant financing components exist. For e-commerce sales, revenue is recognized either at the time of pick-up at one of our store locations or at the time of shipment depending on the customer's order designation. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate the reduction to Net sales and Cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience. We provide assurance type warranty coverage primarily on batteries, brakes and struts whereby we are required to provide replacement product at no cost or a reduced cost for a set period of time.
Receivables	Receivables, net consist primarily of receivables from Professional customers. We grant credit to certain Professional customers who meet our pre-established credit requirements. Accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value. We regularly review accounts receivable balances and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We consider the following factors when determining if collection is reasonably assured: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic and industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. We control credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and accounts receivable and credit monitoring procedures.
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes actual product cost, warranty costs, vendor incentives, cash discounts on payments to vendors, costs associated with operating our distribution network, including payroll and benefits costs, occupancy costs and depreciation, in-bound freight-related costs from our vendors, impairment of inventory resulting from store closures and costs associated with moving merchandise inventories from our distribution centers to stores, branch locations and customers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses	Selling, General and Administrative Expenses SG&A includes payroll and benefits costs for store and corporate Team Members, occupancy costs of store and corporate facilities, depreciation and amortization related to store and corporate assets, share-based compensation expense, advertising, self-insurance, costs of consolidating, converting or closing facilities, including early termination of lease obligations, severance and impairment charges, professional services and costs associated with our Professional delivery program, including payroll and benefit costs, and transportation expenses associated with moving merchandise inventories from stores and branches to customer locations.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense, net of qualifying vendor promotional funds, was $117.3 million , $120.9 million and $102.8 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 . Vendor promotional funds, which reduced advertising expense, amounted to $45.7 million and $26.9 million and $33.3 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 .
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income taxes reflect the net income tax effect of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax reporting purposes. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period of the enactment date. We recognize tax benefits and/or tax liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts as we must determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis or when new information becomes available to management. The reevaluations are based on many factors, including but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, successfully settled issues under audit, expirations due to statutes of limitations and new federal or state audit activity. Any change in either our recognition or measurement could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an increase to the tax accrual.
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share of common stock has been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by including the effect of dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflects the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, outstanding deferred stock units and the impact of outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights (collectively “share-based awards”). Share-based awards containing performance conditions are included in the dilution impact as those conditions are met.
Segment Information	Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Our CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about our five operating segments, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. We have one reportable segment as the five operating segments are aggregated due primarily to the economic and operational similarities of each operating segment as the stores and branches have similar characteristics, including the nature of the products and services, customer base and the methods used to distribute products and provide service to its customers.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires the Company to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held and not accounted for at fair value through net income. In November 2018, April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief , which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. The previously mentioned ASUs are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption of this new standard to have an insignificant impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We expect the adoption of this new standard to have an insignificant impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Schedule Of Share-based Payment Award Valuation Assumptions	Restricted Stock Units For time-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Time-based RSUs generally vest over a three-year period in equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. During the vesting period, holders of RSUs are entitled to receive dividend equivalents, but are not entitled to voting rights. For performance-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Performance-based awards generally may vest following a three-year period subject to our achievement of certain financial goals as specified in the grant agreements. Depending on our results during the three-year performance period, the actual number of awards vesting at the end of the period generally ranges from 0% to 200% of the performance award. Performance-based RSUs generally do not have dividend equivalent rights and do not have voting rights until the shares are earned and issued following the applicable performance period. The number of performance-based awards outstanding is based on the number of awards that we believed were probable of vesting at December 28, 2019 . Performance-based RSU’s granted during 2019 are presented as grants in the table at their respective target levels. The change in units based on performance represents the change in the number of granted awards expected to vest based on the updated probability assessment as of December 28, 2019 . Compensation expense for performance-based awards of $7.8 million , $5.4 million , and $13.6 million in 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , was determined based on management’s estimate of the probable vesting outcome. For market-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model uses multiple input variables that determined the probability of satisfying the market condition requirements as follows: Monte Carlo Simulation Model Assumptions 2019 2018 2017 Risk-free interest rate (1) 2.5 % 2.4 % 1.6 % Expected dividend yield 0.2 % 0.2 % 0.2 % Expected stock price volatility (2) 33.5 % 34.0 % 26.2 % (1) The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate having term consistent with the vesting period of the award. (2) Expected volatility is determined based on historical volatility over a matching look-back period and is consistent with the correlation coefficients between our stock prices and our peer group. Additionally, we estimated a liquidity discount of 10.5%
