Sullivan Tire Co. Inc. has acquired C&R Tire, a two-store business with locations in Worcester and Sturbridge, Mass. The acquisition gives Sullivan Tire 77 retail locations throughout New England.
The deal was effective May 2.
C&R Tire owner Jim Chew will join the Sullivan Tire team, as well as most of the company's current staff.
“I’m thrilled to become part of the Sullivan Tire team,” he said. “I’ve been doing business with Sullivan Tire for years and going from one family business to another is a natural fit for C&R Tire. I know both our retail and wholesale customers will be served well with this transition.”
C&R Tire has a 15-bay store location at 111 Randolph Road in Worcester. The 25,000-square-foot store also has warehousing space. The Sturbridge location at 649 Main Street is 9,600 square feet with seven service bays and a car wash.
“We are excited and honored to welcome C&R Tire to the Sullivan Tire family, and look forward to continuing the great customer service they have provided to both their retail and wholesale customers for more than 75 years,” said Sullivan Tire Vice President of Marketing Paul Sullivan.
Sullivan Tire says it plans to renovate both C&R Tire locations. Both will remain open during renovations.
