MFA Petroleum Co. has purchased 13 Big O Tires stores in the Kansas City market. The new stores make MFA Petroleum the largest Big O Tires franchisee in the country, with 35 locations in three states.
All 13 locations are being acquired from TBC Corp. Eight of the acquired stores are in Missouri and five are located in Kansas. MFA Petroleum also operates stores in Arkansas.
The deal gives MFA Petroleum its entrance into Kansas, with locations in Kansas City, Kan., Overland Park and Shawnee, and two in Olathe.
On the Missouri side of the stateline, the deal includes five stores in Kansas City, Mo., as well as Blue Springs, Lee's Summit and Raymore.
“This is a major expansion for our company,” says Charlie Alexander, senior director of Big O Tires for MFA Petroleum. “It strengthens our current footprint and helps us build the Big O Tires brand throughout the Kansas City area. We are excited to serve the KC market.”
MFA Petroleum is a wholly owned subsidiary of MFA Oil Co.
