Delphos, Ohio-based tire distributor K&M Tire Inc. has purchased the assets of Don’s Tire in Cross Plains, Wis.
A long-time K&M customer, Don’s Tire opened its doors in 1988 and sold Bridgestone, Firestone, Fuzion, Goodyear, Continental, and Carlisle tires to both retail and wholesale customers.
The deal closed on Jan. 2, and included Don’s Tire’s inventory and customer list. With the purchase, however, Don’s Tire’s lone retail store closed its doors. Leo Wherley, owner of Don’s Tire, joined K&M Tire as a part-time outside sales representative in the Wisconsin area.
Founded in 1970, K&M Tire operates 12 warehouses and services customers in 15 states from Ohio to the Dakotas.
