    ATLANTA (Oct. 23, 2014) — Monro Muffler Brake Inc. has acquired Wood & Fullerton Inc., a predominantly Goodyear dealership in the Atlanta metro area, and is converting the firm's nine locations to its Mr. Tire retail brand.

    Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed at this time.

    Monro also reported it has a letter-of-intent pending to buy another nine-store dealership within its existing footprint with approximately $10 million in annual sales, and it expects to close the deal later this quarter.

    In a letter to customers posted on the Wood & Fullerton website — which already is redirected to the Mr. Tire website — Wood & Fullerton President Dolores Wood Rodden thanked customers for their business throughout the dealership's 50-plus years in business.

    “The store signs will change,” she wrote, “but not the professional staff you've come to know and trust. The same menu of automotive services will be available, including oil changes, brakes, alignments, scheduled maintenance, diagnostics and repairs—and, of course, tires!”

    She wrote that Monro/Mr. Tire will honor all Wood & Fullerton guarantees.

    Wood & Fullerton's stores are located in Alpharetta (two locations), Canton, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Norcross, Roswell (two locations) and Woodstock, Ga. All are communities north of Atlanta.

    In comments accompanying its second quarter financial results, the Rochester, N.Y.-based Monro said this deal continues its growth strategy in the Southeast, which started in the second quarter with its purchase of 35 Tire Choice locations in south Florida.
