RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. (Aug. 6, 2003) — Tire Kingdom Inc. has added three more stores to its stable, for a total of 353 stores, the Riviera Beach-based retailer said.
The latest additions are in Greenville, S.C.; Miamisburg, Ohio; and Columbus, Ohio, said Bob Patron, director of new store operations.
Officials at TBC Corp., which owns Tire Kingdom, estimated the retailer could have as many as 360 to 365 stores by the end of the year, barring any further acquisitions. TBC said it is investigating possible deals in addition to this year's buyout of Merchant's Inc., a 112-outlet dealership the company folded into Tire Kingdom.
