Zisser Tire has three locations and will continue to operate the other two locations. The acquired facility is 10,000 sq. ft. with seven service bays. This marks the third acquisition for Telle Tire in 2021, which now has 10 locations in the Greater St. Louis Area and a total of 19 locations throughout the state of Missouri, including footprints in the Kansas City and Springfield markets.

Telle Tire, which currently operates in Eureka, Missouri, has also entered into an agreement to add another facility, a three-bay facility down the street in Eureka, Missouri, to further expand its existing operations. An addition will take place, adding four service bays and giving the new and current facilities a total of 11 working bays.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has named Ryan Waldron as president of the company's Americas business unit, reporting to Chief Executive Officer and President Mark Stewart. He succeeds Steven R. McClellan, who retired on April 1.
