About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Les Schwab Tire Center and asked, ‘Why does everyone here seem to know when my truck needs new tires?’ An old regular overheard him and whispered, ‘They don’t know your truck needs tires—your truck needs tires because they’ve seen you coming!’ The delivery driver blushed and realized his tires were always bald whenever he visited.

2. At dawn, when most tire centers are quiet, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual load—an old bicycle instead of tires. Upon opening the box, everyone found out it was just an old rusty bike—a practical joke from the delivery driver who loved pranks. The next morning, as employees were laughing over coffee, a neighbor stopped by and asked if they needed any more tires... or maybe another bike?

3. One foggy night, a delivery driver arrived at Les Schwab Tire Center with an unusual load. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve got air in here!’ Everyone froze for a moment, then burst into laughter as a regular customer shouted back, 'Hey, that's not air—it's fog!' The delivery driver just shrugged and said, 'Well, it's something, right?'

4. One day, a delivery driver arrived at Les Schwab Tire Center with an unusual package. As he unloaded it, he noticed something odd—an old, dusty tire lying next to the new ones. Curious, he picked it up only to discover it was engraved with ‘Property of Superman’. The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Who knows, maybe Supes needs new tires too!' He placed the vintage tire in the display window. Soon enough, neighbors started coming by, taking photos and asking if they could buy it. A regular customer even joked, 'I’ll trade you my old car for that tire!' The tire remained there long after, becoming part of Les Schwab’s unique charm.
