Big O and Tire Kingdom are both owned by TBC Corp., which, in turn, is owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries.
According to Big O president and CEO John Adams, the company intends “to aggressively look for additional franchisee candidates and locations in Ohio, in order to further grow our brand and the unique local ownership with national support that allows a true customer-focus at retail.”
Currently, Big O claims 540 retail locations, primarily in western states.
