Discount Tire is regarded as one of America’s most respected companies, rising from a single-man operation and growing into the largest independent tire and wheel retailer. Its growth has been largely attributed to the company’s long-standing focus on fair dealing, reasonable prices, top-notch customer service and guaranteed satisfaction.
Discount Tire was founded in 1960 by Bruce T. Halle who decided to go into business on his own and rented an old plumbing supply building on Stadium Boulevard in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Halle tidied up the place and hung a sign outside that displayed his stock: six tires, four of which were retreads. It took 3 days before Halle received his first customer, but it took an additional 4 days before he sold his first tire. Although his product inventory consisted of only six tires and having no business plan in place, it was through hard work and a strong desire to support his wife and three young children that laid the foundation on which Halle’s company has prospered. Now, with more than 890 stores in 28 states, Discount Tire has grown to become the world’s largest independent tire and wheel retailer according to Wikipedia.
