Les Schwab Makes Another Acquisition

Les Schwab Tire Centers Inc. has acquired Staley's Tire & Automotive, a two-location dealership based in Billings, Mont.

The acquisition gives Les Schwab three stores in Billings.

“Les Schwab Tires started in a small town in 1952 and communities like Billings have helped us get to be the company we are today,” says Matt Campbell, Les Schwab area manager.

“Our commitment to customer service is grounded in our core values of honesty and dedication to the communities where we live and work. We are excited to carry forward the 40-year legacy of Staley’s Tire & Automotive and continue serving the Billings area.”

Staley’s Tire & Automotive opened in 1985. The family-owned business runs a commercial tire center on South Frontage Road in Billings and a retail outlet located on Central Avenue.

Together, the stores employ 26 people, all of whom are expected to stay with Les Schwab.

"In preparation for the official store opening today, July 28, both locations underwent light conversion updates," say Les Schwab officials. "The Central Avenue location received a modest remodel ahead of the opening, with a full renovation planned for 2026. The South Frontage Road store also saw light upgrades, with a comprehensive remodel scheduled for September."

“We’re thrilled to join the Les Schwab Tires family and gain the resources to better serve our customers and community,” says Harry Staley, founder of Staley’s Tire & Automotive. “That’s been our mission for more than four decades and we see a real alignment between our values and Les Schwab’s commitment to small-town service that puts the customer first.”

With more than 545 locations, Bend, Ore.-based Les Schwab is the fourth largest independent tire dealership in the United States, according to the recently published MTD 100.
