Family-owned and operated Tire Discounters, the nation’s eighth largest independent tire retailer, opened its newest location in Fort Oglethorpe, marking the 100th store in the company’s nearly 40-year history and its first in the state of Georgia.
Located at 2925 Battlefield Pkwy., the Fort Oglethorpe store will feature 7,900 square-feet of space, eight service bays and will employ 12 people. With this latest addition, Tire Discounters now has a five-state regional footprint, with a presence in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Tire Discounters built its business on giving its customers complimentary services that extend the life of tires and improve overall performance, officials said.
Any new tire purchase (1, 2, 3 or 4 tires) includes:
· Free Alignment for safer handling, longer lasting tires and improved gas mileage; and
· Free Lifetime Tire Maintenance Package (includes lifetime rotation, balancing, and valve stems).
Officials said, "Most name brand tires and value-based tires are in stock, and virtually all brands are available, ensuring a variety of prices for a range of budgets. Tire Discounters also offers full menu of factory recommended maintenance services performed by ASE Certified Technicians."
"We are extremely proud and thankful to reach this great milestone," said Chip Wood, founder and chairman of Tire Discounters. “Our faithful customers have been integral to our consistent growth over nearly four decades and we are excited to continue building by providing unmatched service and doing the right thing.”
Tire Discounters officials said their success can also be traced to a company culture that attracts the top employees in the industry. “We are committed to doing the right thing for our employees and investing in them, their development and their well-being,” said Sarah Stimson, Tire Discounters’ executive vice president of talent development.
