About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to The Used Tire Store with a peculiar sight in his truck bed—a vintage jukebox wrapped in bubble wrap. No one had noticed it before, but now it seemed to beckon everyone who walked past. As word spread, more and more people stopped by just to hear what songs were playing next. One afternoon, a regular came in complaining about his car’s engine. When asked how he was doing, he replied, 'Never mind that—just tell me when your jukebox is getting fixed!' Everyone laughed, realizing they’d all become tirelessly devoted fans.
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their legs, an old delivery driver pulled up to The Used Tire Store with something unusual under his arm. Under his arm was a brand-new coffee maker, wrapped in bubble wrap and tied with string. ‘Thought you guys could use this,’ he said with a smile. ‘Best coffee around town.’ A regular at the store grinned, ‘Thanks, but don’t worry—we’ve got plenty of used tires for trade!’
3. A regular customer of The Used Tire Store grumbled one day, ‘Why do I always get the flat tire that no one else can fix?’ Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked in and said, 'I’ve got just the tire for you!' He pulled out a massive spare from behind the counter, grinned, and added, 'It’s been sitting here since last year’s snowstorm—no one could fix it either.' Everyone laughed, including the regular, who muttered, 'Guess I’ll be back next winter then.'
4. A little boy followed his dad into The Used Tire Store one Saturday morning. As he walked in, he stopped abruptly and pointed excitedly at something on the floor. 'Dad,' he whispered, 'is that really an old tire growing grass?' His father smiled and knelt down, ruffling his son’s hair. ‘No, son,’ he said gently, pointing to a nearby pile of tires. ‘That’s just Mr. Johnson’s old tire from last week.’ They both laughed as another customer—a delivery driver—walked in, tripping over what turned out to be yet another perfectly ordinary tire.
