Who's next? Monro eyes many more stores

Oct. 27, 2014

In the spirit of Halloween, here’s a good scare for those of you afraid of even more competition: Monro Muffler Brake Inc. expects to grow very quickly over the rest of its fiscal 2015.

According to its most recent financial results, the company plans to accelerate its acquisitions. And thanks to industry analyst Nick Mitchell, we have an idea of just how fast those plans may come to fruition.

Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich looks at the third largest independent tire dealership in the United States in his latest blog, “Intense competition: Monro's growth curve is scary.”

The growth is not speculative, either.
