Dobbs Tire to Open Nearly 40 More Stores

High Ridge, Mo.-based Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers will open nearly 40 new locations through both new construction and brownfields.

"This expansion marks another exciting chapter for the company, further strengthening their presence in Missouri and Ohio, while entering Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and increasing their ability to serve even more customers with the expert care and dependable service Dobbs is known for," according to Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers officials

The dealership recently opened two new locations: one in St. Louis, Mo., and another in Tyler, Texas. Three more Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers locations are scheduled to open in the St. Louis market within the next 60 days.

"With a recent 34-store brownfield opportunity, Dobbs expanded their footprint into Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, Green Bay, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh. The phased expansion approach begins in early-November and will extend through March of 2026. This significant growth through new construction builds, brownfields and acquisitions will bring the total number of stores under Dobbs ownership to over 130 locations, with even more planned for 2026."

"Expanding into new communities allows us to make car care more convenient and accessible,” says Dustin Dobbs, president and chief growth officer of Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers. “We have continued to look for opportunities to grow our brand and bring top automotive services to our customers. Our goal has always been to deliver exceptional service and trusted expertise close to where our customers live and work. These new locations help us do exactly that.”

Audax Private Equity acquired an ownership stake in Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers in 2023.
