DALLAS — The Big O Tires franchise organization elected three new members to its Hall of Fame and honored a half-dozen other dealers and corporate personnel with awards during its recent annual franchise meeting in Dallas.
Bill Skidmore, Mitch Beranek and Greg Kimberlin became just the 28th, 29th and 30th members elected to the Big O Tire Hall of Fame in its 60-year history. The three have a 124 years of collective Big O experience.
The late Bill Skidmore, aka "Chief," spent 52 years in the Big O system, starting as a store employee in 1969 in Kentucky and either owned or was a partner in several stores in Indiana and Kentucky from then until his death in 2013 at age 72.
