Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation: 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (“Advance”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated (“Advance Stores”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Advance,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company”) and have been prepared by the Company. As of July 14, 2018, we operated a total of 5,026 stores and 133 branches primarily within the United States, with additional locations in Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition, as of July 14, 2018, we served 1,219 independently owned Carquest branded stores (“independent stores”) across the same geographic locations served by our stores in addition to Mexico, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, the British Virgin Islands and the Pacific Islands. The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted based upon the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) interim reporting guidance. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2017 as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Our first quarter of the year contains sixteen weeks. Our remaining three quarters consist of twelve weeks.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies:

Revenues

Revenue for periods through December 30, 2017 was reported under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), as described in our accounting policies in our 2017 Form 10-K. 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. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis.

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.

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.

We had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or costs to obtain and fulfill contracts recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 14, 2018. For the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods (for example, due to changes in transaction price), was insignificant. Revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to remaining performance obligations is insignificant.

The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by product group:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU is a comprehensive new accounting standard with respect to leases that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most leases, including those leases previously classified as operating leases under current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in previous lease guidance. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years; earlier adoption is permitted.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02 including allowing entities to elect an additional transition method with which to adopt ASU 2016-02. The approved transition method enables entities to apply the transition requirements in this ASU at the effective date of ASU 2016-02 (rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented as currently required) with the effect of initially applying ASU 2016-02 recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption would continue to be in accordance with ASC 840, Leases (Topic 840) (“ASC 840”), including the disclosure requirements of ASC 840. We plan to adopt ASU 2016-02 effective at the beginning of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases.

We have selected our leasing software solution and are in the process of identifying changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2019. We are evaluating the impact that the new standard will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements. While we are unable to quantify the impact at this time, we expect the adoption of the new standard to result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements. At this time, we do not expect adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as the majority of our leases will remain operating in nature. As such, the expense recognition will be similar to previously required straight-line expense treatment.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. ASU 2018-05 provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) pursuant to the Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which allows companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes (Topic 740) within a one-year measurement period from the Act enactment date, which occurred in the financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2017. Until the completion of our 2017 U.S. income tax return in the third quarter of 2018, we may identify additional remeasurement adjustments to amounts previously recorded for the nonrecurring repatriation tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries and remeasurement of the net deferred tax liability. We will continue to assess our provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to expand the scope of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2018-07”), to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2018-07 in the second quarter of 2018. The results of applying ASU 2018-07 were insignificant and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business process, controls or systems.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We used the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method of accounting for approximately 88% of inventories as of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017. 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 for inventories purchased in the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and prior years. We recorded a reduction to Cost of sales of $12.3 million and an increase of $12.5 million for the twelve weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017 and reductions to Cost of sales of $32.3 million and $5.5 million for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017 to state inventories at LIFO.

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is performed by us at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on our estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.

Inventory balances were as follows:



(in thousands)	July 14, 2018		December 30, 2017
Inventories at first in, first out (“FIFO”)	$	3,924,331	$	3,965,370

Exit Activities

Exit Activities and Other Initiatives

Integration of Carquest stores

We are in the process of a multi-year integration, which includes the consolidation and conversion of certain Carquest stores acquired with General Parts International, Inc. (“GPI”) in 2014. As of July 14, 2018, 352 Carquest stores acquired with GPI had been consolidated into existing Advance Auto Parts stores and 423 stores had been converted to the Advance Auto Parts format. During the twelve weeks ended July 14, 2018, a total of 4 Carquest stores were consolidated and no Carquest stores were converted. During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018, a total of 6 Carquest stores were consolidated and 1 Carquest store was converted. As of July 14, 2018, we had 419 stores still operating under the Carquest name.

We generated $0.5 million of income related to the consolidations and conversions during the twelve weeks ended July 14, 2018. No exit costs related to the consolidations and conversions were incurred during the twelve weeks ended July 15, 2017. We generated $0.1 million of income and incurred $1.1 million of exit costs related to the consolidations and conversions during the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 and July 15, 2017, primarily related to closed store lease obligations. These costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Store and Supply Chain Rationalization

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Board of Directors approved a plan to close certain underperforming stores and begin to rationalize our supply chain costs as part of our strategy to transform the enterprise. As of July 14, 2018, we expect these actions to result in estimated charges of up to $70.0 million in 2018, which consist of $35.0 million relating to the early termination of lease obligations, $15.0 million of inventory and supply chain asset impairment charges, $15.0 million of other facility closure costs and $5.0 million of severance.

During the twelve weeks ended July 14, 2018, we incurred $3.9 million of early termination of lease obligations charges, $5.3 million of inventory and supply chain asset impairment charges, $2.1 million of facility closure costs and $1.1 million of severance relating to the store and supply chain rationalization. Of these costs, $7.1 million are included in SG&A and $5.3 million are included in Cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018, we incurred $5.0 million of early termination of lease obligation charges, $6.8 million of inventory and supply chain asset impairment charges, $2.4 million of facility closure costs and $1.4 million of severance relating to the store and supply chain rationalization. Of these costs, $10.3 million are included in SG&A and $5.3 million are included in Cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Total Exit Liabilities

Our total exit liabilities include liabilities recorded in connection with the consolidation of Carquest stores and other initiatives described above, along with liabilities associated with facility closures that have occurred as part of our normal market evaluation process. Cash payments on the closed facility lease obligations are expected to be made through 2028 and the remaining severance payments are expected to be made in 2018. Of our total exit liabilities as of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, $17.7 million and $19.8 million is included in Other long-term liabilities and the remainder is included in Accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. A summary of our exit liabilities is presented in the following table:

Fair value of long-term debt	$	1,080,000		$	1,109,000

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The fair value of our senior unsecured notes was determined using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices. We believe the carrying value of our 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

As of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017 we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolver and borrowing availability was $897.5 million and $517.6 million based on our leverage ratio. As of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017, we had letters of credit outstanding of $102.5 million and $111.7 million, which generally have a term of one year or less and primarily serve as collateral for our self-insurance policies. We were in compliance with all financial covenants required by our debt arrangements as of July 14, 2018.

Debt Guarantees

We are a guarantor of loans made by banks to various independently owned Carquest-branded stores that are our customers totaling $28.7 million and $24.8 million as of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017. 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 $63.4 million and $62.8 million as of July 14, 2018 and December 30, 2017. We believe that the likelihood of performance under these guarantees is remote.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018, we granted 200 thousand time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), 69 thousand performance-based RSUs and 36 thousand market-based RSUs. The general terms of the time-based, performance-based and market-based RSUs are similar to awards previously granted by us. The weighted average fair values of the time-based, performance-based and market-based RSUs granted during the twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 were $119.29, $116.82 and $130.88 per share. For time-based and performance-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined based on the market price of our stock on the date of grant adjusted for expected dividends during the vesting period, as applicable. The fair value of each market-based RSU was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Total income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018 was $1.2 million and $3.0 million. Total income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 2017 was $2.8 million and $7.5 million. As of July 14, 2018, there was $54.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to all share-based awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements [Abstract]

Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

Certain 100% wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of Advance, including our Material Subsidiaries (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) serve as guarantors (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) of our senior unsecured notes. The subsidiary guarantees related to our senior unsecured notes are full and unconditional and joint and several, and there are no restrictions on the ability of Advance to obtain funds from its Guarantor Subsidiaries. Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries, including all of its foreign subsidiaries, do not serve as guarantors of our senior unsecured notes (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of (i) Advance, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries, (iii) the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at consolidated information for Advance. Investments in subsidiaries of Advance are presented under the equity method. The statement of operations eliminations relate primarily to the sale of inventory from a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary to a Guarantor Subsidiary. The balance sheet eliminations relate primarily to the elimination of intercompany receivables and payables and subsidiary investment accounts.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jul. 14, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Revenues	Revenues Revenue for periods through December 30, 2017 was reported under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), as described in our accounting policies in our 2017 Form 10-K. 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. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis. 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. 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. We had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or costs to obtain and fulfill contracts recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 14, 2018. For the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 14, 2018, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods (for example, due to changes in transaction price), was insignificant. Revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to remaining performance obligations is insignificant.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU is a comprehensive new accounting standard with respect to leases that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most leases, including those leases previously classified as operating leases under current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in previous lease guidance. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years; earlier adoption is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides clarifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02 including allowing entities to elect an additional transition method with which to adopt ASU 2016-02. The approved transition method enables entities to apply the transition requirements in this ASU at the effective date of ASU 2016-02 (rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented as currently required) with the effect of initially applying ASU 2016-02 recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption would continue to be in accordance with ASC 840, Leases (Topic 840) (“ASC 840”), including the disclosure requirements of ASC 840. We plan to adopt ASU 2016-02 effective at the beginning of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. We have selected our leasing software solution and are in the process of identifying changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2019. We are evaluating the impact that the new standard will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements. While we are unable to quantify the impact at this time, we expect the adoption of the new standard to result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements. At this time, we do not expect adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as the majority of our leases will remain operating in nature. As such, the expense recognition will be similar to previously required straight-line expense treatment. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. ASU 2018-05 provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) pursuant to the Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which allows companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes (Topic 740) within a one-year measurement period from the Act enactment date, which occurred in the financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2017. Until the completion of our 2017 U.S. income tax return in the third quarter of 2018, we may identify additional remeasurement adjustments to amounts previously recorded for the nonrecurring repatriation tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries and remeasurement of the net deferred tax liability. We will continue to assess our provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to expand the scope of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2018-07”), to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2018-07 in the second quarter of 2018. The results of applying ASU 2018-07 were insignificant and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business process, controls or systems.
