Euclid, Ohio-based Enger Auto & Tire has brought its total number of stores up to 14 with the acquisition of an eight-bay shop in Sandusky, Ohio.
The outlet was formerly owned by Parris-McIntyre Tire Co.
Enger Auto owner Jim Enger would like to open four more stores during 2007. "We have a couple of written contracts on vacant land to build some stores," he says.
"We're looking forward to 2007 being a great year for us."
