    FRANKLIN, Va. (Jan. 7, 2016) — Dave Crawford, former CEO of The Hybrid Shop, has joined the management team of Bobby's Tire & Auto as president and COO.

    Bobby Cutchins, founder and owner of the Franklin-based two-outlet dealership, is now chief visionary officer. He also announced to employees that Robby Cutchins is the company's new CEO.

    “I started Bobby's 34-years ago, and feel that I have built the company to be the dominant retailer in Franklin and Emporia,” Bobby Cutchins said. “To continue to be the market leader, I feel that we need to grow and take the company to the next level.

    “The plan has been in the works for a while, and realigning the management team will position us for growth in the coming years. The experience that Crawford brings to the company will provide Bobby's with the leadership and direction needed to reach our objectives.”

    For a Q&A with Bobby Cutchins on the dealership and what may lie in store for it in 2016, check out the Jan. 4 print edition of Tire Business.

    Bobby's Tire called Robby Cutchins, son of Bobby Cutchins, “a pillar of the community” who has been with the dealership for more than 19 years and has managed store operations since 2010. “His new responsibilities will position him to be at the helm as the company grows and new locations are added,” the company added.

    Robby Cutchins' “leadership goes beyond the business into the community, where he is the head-coach for the Franklin High School Boys Basketball Team,” Bobby's Tire said.

    The dealership, which was founded in 1982, operates locations in Franklin and Emporia, Va., that provide tires and automotive service-repair-maintenance for consumers and small commercial-fleet drivers.
