AutoZone, a large auto parts chain store, is likely moving into Warrenton.

A site design was recently submitted to the City of Warrenton Planning Department.

The 6,816 square foot store would be built near Goodwill and Costco on the east side of U.S. Highway 101.

AutoZone is a Fortune 500 corporation based in Memphis, Tenn. According to a company Web site, the chain opened its 4,000th store in 2007, and reported net sales of $7.4 billion internationally for fiscal year 2010.

Carol Parker, City of Warrenton’s planning director, said the site design review will take approximately 30 to 45 days.

If approved, Parker expects construction of the store to begin in March.
