GARDNER, Kan. — Kansans Les and Tina Foster marked their 20th year in business as Big O Tires franchisees recently by donating $800 to the American Legion Women's Auxiliary in Gardner.

To mark the occasion, the Fosters agreed to donate $20 for every set of Big O Tires sold for two weeks in late September/early October to the American Legion auxiliary.

"Representing the Big O Tires brand in Gardner throughout the last 20 years has been such a positive experience for me, Tina and our entire team," Les Foster said.

"We have truly enjoyed serving the Gardner community; our 20 years in business is a true testament to the great customers we serve each and every day as well as the Big O Tires organization."

Gardner is a community of about 19,000 located 30 miles southwest of Kansas City, Kan. The Fosters' store is one of 18 Big O locations in the Kansas City metro area.

John Kairys, vice president and general manager for Big O Tires, lauded the couple, saying: "Exceeding customer expectations has always been a priority for Les, Tina and the entire Gardner team. They exemplify the team you trust and we are honored to celebrate their 20th anniversary alongside of them and the Gardner community."
