DALLAS Pep Boys has pulled its ad account from The Richards Group and will handle the work in-house, the client has confirmed.

A representative for the Philadelphia-based automotive aftermarket chain said the decision is part of the company’s new communications strategy but declined to elaborate further. Agency executives declined comment.

Pep Boys has spent $35 million on ads this year through September, according to Nielsen Monitor-Plus, the same amount it spent during all of last year. Richards handled both creative and media chores.
