In 1982, the Gilbert family opened their first store in Vernon using the
Mitchell Auto Parts banner. Late in 1985, the banners were changed to Napa
Auto Parts. From 1985 to 1996, the Napa Auto Parts banner was used to serve
the 2 Vernon locations, Armstrong, Lumby and Enderby. In 1996, the Vernon
stores were sold.
In 2000, the 19 year relationship with Napa Auto Parts ended and the name
was changed to Gilbert Parts Depot. As the company continued to grow, a
decision was made in 2003 to re-enter the Vernon market.
In order to accommodate family succession planning, in January of 2018, the
company restructured into two new corporations. Gilbert Parts Depot still
had its operations in Armstrong, Lumby and Enderby.
The Vernon Waddington Drive location changed its name and flies under a new banner.
On January 1st, 2020, the Gilbert Parts Depot purchased Taylor-Wilton Nelson
becoming our 4th location. Taylor Wilton served Nelson and outlining area
since the 1940s. See the Nelson page for more TWN history.
On October 31st 2020 Gilbert Parts Depot moved into the former Napa
downtown Salmon Arm location. Napa decided to close their corporate
store on February 29th 2020 after serving the community for over 35 years.
In 2023 Gilbert Parts Depot re-entered the Vernon market when a large warehouse
became availble. Gilbert Parts Depot moved into the Okanagan Landing
location formerly Central Hardware on 25th Ave. This new addition acts as the head office,
warehouse for all 6 locations, and retail store. The Vernon location has a new variety of goods
including home, garden, hardware, tools, equipment, auto and industrial items helping fill
the one-stop-shop void in southwest Vernon when the hardware store closed its doors.
