Former Advance Auto Parts shop in Little Rock, Arkansas has now been converted into a watermelon shop.

A former Advance Auto Parts shop had been converted into a watermelon shop in 2017. What was once Advance Auto Parts is now a watermelon shop. A Hanna-Chevrolet pickup truck is now parked at the front entrance of the former Advance Auto Parts shop building. The building had been leased to several other companies for over 10 years to companies such as King of Wings Shop and Advance Auto Parts.

Robert Friesen and Ralph Ronalter of Integra Associates LLC sold the building to Feather Hill Properties LLC during a transition for a land acquisition deal in 2014. Feather Hill Properties LLC purchased the Advanced Auto Parts at 4102 Asher Avenue. It was purchased for $800,000 with a  loan from U.S. Bank of Minneapolis. The deal was backed with a five-year loan of $459,000 from BancorpSouth Bank of Tupelo, Mississippi. However that business venture only lasted 2 years before the building became abandoned.

According to street view imagery from Google Maps using Google street view, the Advance Auto Parts shop building was abandoned in August 2016. On July 2017 is when the Advance Auto Parts shop building became a watermelon shop. A watermelon has been posted by the driveway entrance of Asher Avenue. This indicates the shop is now open for business. It is unknown as to what the future plans for this watermelon shop are.

The watermelon shop is located at 4102 Asher Avenue, Little Rock, Arkansas, US 72204.
