"We’re going to capitalize on all the opportunities and synergies created by the power of our franchise and company-owned operations to most effectively meet the growing needs of today’s tire and automotive service consumer.
"In addition to our commitment to consumers, we are dedicated to strengthening the success of our franchisees. They are a significant part of the industry and play a critical part in the success of our strategic plan."
