It is possible that they lost their lease on their existing store and have to move. Perhaps another business that is willing to pay more money is moving in. Or maybe O'Reilly is getting a better deal on the lease at the smaller store and is trying to save a little money on rent.

No one ever knows why stores move. There was a Kinko's in my city that was in a brand new building, however a few years ago they packed up and moved across the street to an old building. The current store is smaller and looks quite rundown from the outside. Apparently, Fedex wanted to save money on rent and moved into a smaller place.

I am not 100% sure, but I believe Schuck's owned this building. I know it has been in that location since at least the early 1980s, it looked like an older location back in 1988 when I first moved to this area. I still don't understand why they put new signs up on this one though...not banners covering the Schuck's name but new, fully lighted signs.

A few stores here got interior remodels into the O-Reilly colors late last year or early this year. They changed signs on a store in Carson City a month or two ago, but the stores are still not formatlly converted from a systems standpoint. No other stores in this market have new signage, all signs still show Kragen.
