Fountain Tire acquires Tirecraft locations

July 17, 2008

Fountain Tire Ltd. has acquired six Tirecraft stores, five in Alberta and one in British Columbia. The purchase brings Fountain's total store count up to 132.

The Alberta stores are located in Calgary, Fort McMurray, Olds, Strathmore and Wainwright; the British Columbia store is located in Merritt.

"A key component of fulfilling our vision is growth," says Fountain Tire CEO Brent Hesje. "We believe that our ownership system provides great opportunities for managers who want to go beyond just operating a store."
