LAS VEGAS, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cloud Next ’26 — AutoZone, Inc. (NYSE: AZO), a leading retailer and distributor of automotive aftermarket parts and accessories in the Americas, and Google Cloud today announced a strategic expansion of their partnership.

“Completing our cloud migration is a significant milestone, and our partnership with Google has been instrumental to this success.

By transitioning to an agentic architecture, AutoZone is able to make the most of its data and empower AutoZoners to improve the experience for customers and employees alike,” said Jose Gomes, vice president, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, Google Cloud.
