Summary

This summary description of our business and the offering may not contain all the information that may
be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, including the information set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" and the financial data
and related notes included or incorporated by reference herein, before making an investment decision.

The company

We are the nation's leading specialty retailer and a leading distributor of automotive replacement parts
and accessories, with most of our sales to do-it-yourself ("DIY") customers. We began operations in
1979 and as of May 9, 2009, we operated 4,172 stores in 48 states, the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico in the United States, and 168 stores in Mexico. Each of our stores carries an extensive
product line for cars, sport utility vehicles, vans and light trucks, including new and remanufactured
automotive hard parts, maintenance items, accessories and non-automotive products. In many of our
stores, we also have a commercial sales program that provides commercial credit and prompt delivery
of parts and other products to local, regional and national repair garages, dealers, service stations and
public sector accounts. We also sell the ALLDATA brand automotive diagnostic and repair software
through direct sales and www.alldata.com. Additionally, we sell automotive hard parts, maintenance
items, accessories and non-automotive products through www.autozone.com. We do not derive
revenue from automotive repair or installation.

Recent developments

We have executed a commitment letter with a group of banks to enter into a revolving credit facility for
$800 million, which amount may be increased at our election to $1 billion. This new revolving credit
facility is being entered into in order to replace our existing revolving credit facility, which expires in
May 2010. We expect to enter into the new revolving credit facility in July 2009.

On June 17, 2009, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an
additional $500 million of our common stock in connection with our ongoing share repurchase program.
Including the above amount, the share repurchase authorization now totals $7.9 billion since 1998.

Risk factors

Investment in the notes involves risks. You should carefully consider the information under "Risk
Factors" beginning on page S-4 and all other information in the prospectus supplement and
accompanying prospectus.
