Fountain Tire takes Canadian business honors

Fountain Tire has been named one of "Canada's 50 Best-Managed Companies."

Fountain took home the platinum version of the award.

"This designation exemplifies consistency, commitment and the ability to be flexible in a changing marketplace," says a spokesman from Deloitte, a national sponsor of the program, which was established 12 years ago to honor excellence in Canadian-owned and managed companies with annual sales of more than $10 million.

"Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates the caliber of their management abilities and practices."

Fountain Tire has 139 stores throughout Western Canada.
