QUEENSBURY, N.Y. — Don't look for one well-known dealership in upstate New York to be gobbled up in the next wave of mergers and acquisitions.
Having just celebrated the 40th anniversary of Warren Tire Service Center Inc., Bob Kellogg, president of the organization and son of founder Wayne Kellogg, said he and his family have no interest in selling.
"We like what we do and have a very solid third generation in place, with four hard-working, talented family members currently working in the business between the ages of 26 and 32," Kellogg told Tire Business.
One of those working in the business is Kellogg's daughter, Megan Doster, currently the company's vice president, marketing manager.
Warren Tire, with 16 locations spread across the Empire State, tied its milestone anniversary to its annual Big Spring Sale, advertising the promotion across television, radio, social media and via email blasts.
To commemorate its 40 years in business, Warren Tire gave away 10 sets of four tires — 40 tires in a all — through random drawings in each of the stores. The dealership also gave away 10 brake services and 10 batteries.
Kellogg said it added up to $15,000 in giveaways.
