When you’ve had a great year in a relatively flat overall market, it’s time to take a break and say thanks to your members and suppliers. That’s what the Independent Tire Dealers Group LLC (ITDG) did last month at its annual meeting and trade show in Akumal, Mexico.

The Independent Tire Dealers Group LLC (ITDG) now has a presence in 41 states, with over 550 retail locations and 144 members and 97 shareholders participating. Calling itself the “Band of Brothers,” the ITDG has become a leading “affinity group” in the industry.
