S&S Tire will celebrate 50 years of business on Aug. 17 with a special event at its home office in Lexington, Ky.
Wholesale and commercial customers, employees, partners, suppliers, vendors and their families are invited to participate in the anniversary celebration, which begins at 1 p.m.
Guests will have an opportunity to experience a Firestone Indy Car virtual simulator, tour a vendor showcase, take home prizes and giveaways and enjoy local food trucks and live entertainment during the afternoon-long event.
S&S Tire opened its first location - a retail store - in Lexington in 1974.
"As a third generation, family-owned and operated company, we've grown and evolved into a corporation that now encompasses a commercial and wholesale footprint servicing 18 states," says Brooks Swentzel, president of S&S Tire.
"But Lexington will continue to be home to our family and our business."
All three generations of the Swentzel family will be onsite for the event.
"We intend for the open house to be a fun and memorable way for everyone that has had a part in the success of the company over the years to celebrate together," notes Cindy Osterhage, the dealership's director of strategic initiatives and communication.
S&S Tire has 15 commercial tire locations and 13 distribution centers and is the 73rd largest independent tire dealership in the United States, according to the recently published 2024 MTD 100.
