Tire Kingdom opens another store

June 20, 2002

Tire Kingdom Inc.'s aggressive expansion continues with the recent opening of its latest outlet in Slidell, La.

The new shop brings Tire Kingdom's total store count up to 209.

The Riviera Beach, Fla.-based chain has opened more than 10 outlets since January.

In February, it acquired Mueller Tire & Brake Inc., a 19-store chain based in Cleveland, Ohio.

Tire Kingdom is currently converting the former Mueller outlets over to its format.

Tire Kingdom is the third largest independent tire store chain in North America, according to Modern Tire Dealer data.
