A POPULAR auto parts chain is looking to open 100 new stores in two major areas as part of its aggressive new plan.

That’s despite concerns over global inflation and, of course, the effect of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

According to a report by Biz Journals, AutoZone is set to increase their store count in 2025.

The brand’s president and CEO Phil Daniele said in a recent Q3 2025 earnings call that they have opened 30 new international stores this past quarter in Mexico and Brazil – representing their entire presence outside of the US.

That sees the company closing in on 1,000 international stores.

Daniele said: “We remain confident in our growth opportunities in these markets.

“Today, we have 13% of our total store base outside of the US and expect this number to grow as we accelerate our international store openings.

“With 58 international stores opened year-to-date, we continue to expect to open around 100 international stores this fiscal year.”

For comparison, AutoZone opened 54 domestic stores in the US during Q3 2025, bringing their total store count to 7,516 including 6,537 stores in the US, 838 in Mexico and 141 in Brazil.

“We remain committed to more aggressively opening satellite stores, hub stores, and mega hubs,” Daniele said.

“Hubs and mega hubs comp results continue to grow faster than the balance of the rest of the chain and we are going to continue to aggressively deploy these assets.”

The brand also reported $18.49 billion in revenue during FY 2024 , while their annual report noted some 126,000 employees worldwide.

They now rank as the Memphis-area’s third-largest public company based on revenue, while their store count is significantly higher than two of its main competitors – Advance Auto Parts and O’Reilly Auto Parts.

Furthermore, AutoZone is the only company of the three with a presence outside of North America, with its 141 locations in Brazil.

This comes as a beloved dealership recently made the difficult decision to close shop.

Sunrise Auto Sales had been operating on DuPont Highway in Felton, Delaware, and serving drivers across the state for 13 years.

Sunrise Auto Sales helped customers buy new cars, sell their old cars, or even finance them.

“After much thought and heartfelt consideration, we have made the very difficult decision to close Sunrise Auto Sales,” the Facebook post read.

“We’ve done our best to keep the dealership running, but at this time, we believe stepping away is the right choice for our family and our future.”

The U.S. Sun can exclusively go inside his private life after leaving the spotlight.

Adam lives in the same Sioux Falls, South Dakota home he was filmed purchasing on Teen Mom 2 in January 2016.

Adam bought the four-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch home for $112,000.

Adam’s two-car garage holds a black corvette.

The U.S. Sun obtained exclusive photos of Adam checking his mail and blowing leaves outside of the house on Thursday, May 29.

He wore a hoodie, jeans and sunglasses, and looked different from his days on Teen Mom.

Adam, who worked as a personal trainer on the series, now appears to have a career as a construction foreman.

On Friday, May 30, Adam left his house in his black corvette and drove to a construction site.

In a second set of photos, he walked around the site and spoke with workers, even laughing with them at times.

He wore a green t-shirt, cameo shorts and sunglasses for the work duty.

His dog was by his side on both days.

The insider told The U.S. Sun, “He went to a work site. He was smiling, having jokes with the workers.

“He walked around and checked the equipment out. He looked like the foreman of the site. He stayed for about twenty minutes before continuing with his day.”

LAST SIGHTING

The last time Adam has been seen was in July 2023.

A family member posted a rare photo of Adam, and his daughter with Chelsea, Aubree, 15, celebrating the Fourth of July with a group of loved ones.

As seen on Teen Mom 2, Chelsea and Adam had a tumultuous co-parenting relationship through the years.

Because of his legal issues, Chelsea fought for Adam to only be able to see Aubree at a visitation center.

STILL IN TROUBLE

Adam was in and out of jail during his time on the MTV show from domestic violence charges to DUI busts.

While he appeared to turn his life around, as he went years without an arrest, he landed back behind bars on September 22, 2024.

He was charged with three counts of domestic abuse simple assault.

Starcasm reported that the criminal complaint read he “did intentionally cause bodily injury” to the alleged victim that “did not result in serious bodily injury.”

The U.S. Sun can confirm he pleaded not guilty to the three charges after his arrest.

The charges against Adam were dismissed by the prosecutor in December 2024.

DAD LIFE

Adam has maintained a relationship with Aubree through the years.

Chelsea told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup in 2023, “Honestly, everyone wants to know about our relationship and where it stands, and I totally understand that.

“It’s a main question because it was such a huge story[line] of ours. Our relationship, it’s fine. We’re not best friends, but we’re not enemies at all.

“If I were to see him, there would be no bad feelings at all.”

Chelsea said Aubree’s relationship with Adam has improved as well, as the teen now coordinates when she sees him.

Adam also has a daughter named Paislee with his ex Taylor Halbur.

Adam signed away his parental rights to Paislee in 2018, despite seeming to have a close relationship with her on Teen Mom 2.

Taylor told The U.S. Sun in 2020, “He hasn’t reached out at all. I honestly could not tell you where he’s at. I haven’t heard a single thing about him.

“He’s a ghost.”

Taylor’s husband, Joe Leonard, adopted Paislee.

CHELSEA’S LIFE

As for Chelsea, she lives in Lennox, South Dakota with her husband Cole DeBoer their children Watson, 8, Layne, 6, and Walker, 4, and Aubree.

Chelsea left Teen Mom 2 in 2020 after 10 seasons.

They built their stunning farmhouse in 2020.

In 2022, Chelsea and Cole scored a home renovation show called Down Home Fab on HGTV, which is currently airing its 4th season.

Chelsea also owns decor store Down Home by DeBoers in Tea, South Dakota.

THE Pittsburgh Steelers have sent a letter to fans after a backlash last week.

Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph appeared on stage with President Donald Trump.

And that led to angry complaints from some of the fan base.

Pennsylvania is a swing state in the US presidential election.

The state has plenty of democratic supporters as well as republican backers of Trump.

And the Steelers organization has close ties with the democratic party.

Their late chairman Dan Rooney was appointed the US Ambassador to Ireland by President Barack Obama.

That led to some of their fan base being left annoyed at Rudolph’s appearance with President Trump.

The quarterback was on stage with the President at a rally related to steel tariffs in Pennsylvania last week.

The Steelers told their fans, “We understand that a recent rally in Pittsburgh has generated a range of reactions from our fan base.

“Our alumni and current players make their own individual decisions that reflect their views.

“And they do not necessarily represent the view of the entire Pittsburgh Steelers organization.

“Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

“We appreciate your passion and your continued support of the team.”

President Trump was at the Super Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana in February.

He became the first sitting President in history to attend the NFL showpiece.

And he was mostly cheered by fans in the stadium when he flashed up on the big screen at the Superdome.

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to win Super Bowl LIX.

They were invited to the White House to meet the President, as is tradition for US sporting champions.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts was among the players to skip the event.

Trump said, “We’re thrilled to welcome everyone to the White House – special place – and to celebrate Super Bowl LIX champions the Philadelphia Eagles.

“The Eagles have turned out to be an incredible team and incredible group with a fantastic coach and coaches.

“Two years ago the Eagles came incredibly close to football immortality and Super Bowl LVII, you remember that game.

“But after a hard fought game you suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs by just three points, it looked like you had the game.”

NISSAN’S CEO, Ivan Espinosa, has revealed his plans to revive the struggling auto company.

Despite admitting the company’s shortcomings, Espinosa also said he’s focusing on “fixing” the problems at hand to keep the company afloat.

Nissan’s CEO, Ivan Espinosa, wants to focus on creating a solid foundation for the company[/caption]

The CEO mentioned that while Nissan works to regain its footing among other giant automakers in the industry, his immediate goal is to focus on the present issue.

“I think in the short term, the focus that we have is to fix ourselves,” Espinosa told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe.”

“We are convinced that the plan is enough and robust,” he continued.

Espinosa took over for the company’s former CEO, Makota Uchida, after a long-awaited merger with Honda fell through.

The companies had signed a memorandum of understanding to explore a potential business integration, but disagreements, particularly over the structure of the merger, caused it to fall apart.

While the merger talks ended, both companies stated they would continue to collaborate on electric vehicles and smart car technologies.

The deal was valued at $58 billion, which could have helped Nissan rise through this rough period.

“The size of the task is big,” Espinosa said on Wednesday.

“Our landing was not good in 2024, and thus we have a transformation that has to come. But this is a problem that did not start like two years ago, it’s a fundamental problem that we’re fixing.”

“If you take a step back, eight to 10 years ago, the company had very lofty goals for growth,” he added.

Last month, Nissan’s CEO revealed that the company had expected a 3% drop in sales volume for the current fiscal year, as reported by CNBC.

This comes after the CEO announced significant changes to its production and workforce.

The car manufacturer estimates a roughly $5 billion loss.

The auto manufacturer said it would be axing nearly 15% of its global workforce after a steep decline in vehicle sales, as reported by The Associated Press.

This means about 20,000 employees will be affected by the changes.

Nissan also announced that it would reduce the number of its auto plants to boost performance and build a company that can adapt to the uncertainty of the automotive industry.

There will only be 10 operating auto facilities instead of the former 17.

Still, the automaker has plans to expand its electric vehicle collection to keep up with frontrunners in the EV revolution.

“We are re-sizing the company and this is why we have accelerated our efforts on cost, both fixed cost [and] viable cost,” Espinosa assured.

“So, we have very deep initiatives under our new Re:Nissan plan and we’re devoted to it.”

“His heartbroken family and friends request privacy at this time, and encourage anyone who is struggling with depression to seek help.”

“Often having professional athletes participate alongside him, John Brenkus was an innovator, an entertainer, and an educator.

“He will be missed by many. He was just 54 years old.”

Sports Science aired from 2007 to 2009 and won six Emmy awards.

During in January 2023, Brenkus opened up on his struggles with mental health.

“I fell into a very deep depression,” he said.

“I spiraled into a deep, deep depression and I was flat-out suicidal.

“(My dog) came to my rescue and in my suicidal funk, I was like: ‘What am I doing?’

“I literally picked up my phone, called my mom and said: ‘There’s something wrong with me’.

“‘I am mentally lost.'”

Trader Joe’s has just brought back a cheesy cult snack, and people are going wild. 

The grocery store chain is once again selling its Green Goddess Gouda, but you’ll have to be quick.

Trader Joe’s has brought back its Green Goddess Gouda cheese[/caption]

On the website it states that it’ll be available for a “limited time” only.

The cheese was created when Trader Joe’s partnered with a cheese maker in New York to make a variety with a “distinct, green-herby character.”

The shop wanted it to “justify its Green Goddess Gouda name” – and it appears to have been a hit.

When social media user Trader Joe’s list found the tasty treat back in stores and featured it on their page, many shoppers were overjoyed. 

One wrote: “OMG GREEN GODDESS CHEESE IS THE BEST!!! I’m so glad it’s back!”

Another added: “IS THE GREEN GODDESS GOUDA BACK?!?”

And a third commented: “my favorite.”

The Trader Joe’s website states: “This Gouda is actually a blend of two goudas; one milder, and one that’s aged and a bit sharper. 

“The smooth, flavorful cheese base is blended with a pesto (created separately) that includes olive oil, avocado oil, onion powder, and several dried alliums and herbs, such as minced garlic, scallions, chives, basil, and parsley. 

“The result is a herbalicious, smooth & nutty cheese that very tasty on its own. 

“It also melts quite well, so you can put our Green Goddess Gouda on your panini, your burger, or even in your mac and cheese!”

The origins of the green goddess date back to 1923, according to Trader Joe’s.

They claim a hotel chef in San Francisco wanted to pay tribute to an actor friend who was starring in a play by William Archer called “The Green Goddess.”

He made a “creamy, green-tinted salad dressing”, which Trader Joe’s picked up on with their own version.

They then created a Green Goddess Dip, before expanding this to the cheese.
