Mercer County, Pa.-based Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service continues its expansion with the opening of a new store in Howland, Ohio.
The new store will take the place of a smaller Flynn’s Tire outlet in Niles, Ohio, less than a mile away.
The new 9,000-square-foot store has 12 service bays, including drive-through bays for new tire installation and oil changes.
“It also has a significantly larger tire inventory than the previous store, offering customers more same-day tire options and faster overall service,” according to Flynn’s Tire officials.
“The previous store in Niles opened in July 2014 with five service bays and a shared customer waiting area with the adjacent Advanced Auto Parts store.
“At less than 3,000 square feet, it was the smallest footprint of any Flynn’s location. With a solid and consistent rise in business, the Flynn family chose to build a new, larger store from the ground up, marking the company’s first new construction project since 2001.”
Joe Flynn III, President of Flynn’s Tire Group, says the dealership is “thrilled to announce the opening of our new store in Howland. Over the past 10 years, our Route 422 location has seen tremendous success, but we had outgrown the limited space there. This new store is three times larger, enabling us to offer more same-day tire options, faster automotive services and an overall better experience for both our customers and staff.
“We’re also very excited to be part of the Eastwood Mall Complex. I'm grateful to be attached to the best retail shopping complex in the state of Ohio"
The new Howland location stocks more than 20 tire brands, including Goodyear, Cooper, Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin, BFGoodrich, Yokohama, Summit and Hankook.
Flynn's Tire Group operates more than 30 retail locations and four wholesale distribution warehouses.
“As one of the 40 largest independent dealers in the U.S., Flynn's Tire Group plans to continue expanding in the coming years,” say company officials.
