Did you know this Auto Parts Chain is Headquartered in Missouri?
The store is known mainly for having auto parts, but let's be honest, we all know it because it has the best commercial jingle around!
"O, O, O, O'Reilly!!!! Auto Parts!" the jingle that we all know and love belongs to O'Reilly Auto Parts, and if you didn't know, O'Reilly is headquartered in the Show-Me State of Missouri! According to Wikipedia, yes O'Reilly is headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, and, is named after its founder Charles H O'Reilly. On Wikipedia, they say...
"...opened for business in Springfield, Missouri on December 2, 1957, with one store and 13 employees...In March 1975, annual sales volume rose to $7 million and a 52,000 square-foot facility was built for the O’Reilly/Ozark warehouse operation.

You may not care at all which companies are headquartered in your state, but I think it is important to support the businesses that have a stake in your state, trust me, I live in Illinois and we are constantly losing legendary Illinois-founded companies like Caterpillar and it stinks...
Where does O'Reilly rank among the best companies in Missouri? Well, I would say that it is up there, no it's not Anheuser-Busch, but it is top 5 maybe with other companies like Bass Pro Shops, Stifel, Edward Jones, and Commerce Bank. You have to include O'Reilly in the top 5 mainly because it has one of the best commercial jingles ever!
