Dustin Dobbs, a fourth-generation tire dealer, has been named president and chief operating officer of Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers Inc.
His appointment was effective March 15. He replaces his father, David Dobbs, as president, who was appointed chairman of the board and CEO.
David Dobbs says, “Dustin represents the fourth generation of our family to take the reins as head of the company. As his father, I couldn’t be prouder of him, as he has earned his stripes working hard in various positions and levels of management since first joining the company as a store associate more than 25 years ago.
"His proven leadership serving on the company’s executive team during the past five years, and skill sets, experience, vision, and enthusiasm will definitely take Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers to the next level, locally and regionally, in growth, expansion, and success.”
Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers was founded as a single store in 1976 in south St. Louis, Mo. The company has grown to encompass a team of more than 600 employees and 43 locations in the St. Louis metro area and beyond. The company was tied for No. 27 on the MTD 100 in 2022.
