A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. While unloading tires from the truck, he kept hearing an eerie humming sound coming from inside the warehouse. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a tire slowly rotating on its own, as if powered by some invisible force. The delivery driver called his supervisor, who shrugged it off as just another quirky thing about old warehouses. Later that day, while taking a break outside, he overheard a neighbor joking, ‘Did you hear Big O Tires is hiring ghosts now?’ Everyone laughed, but the driver couldn’t help thinking maybe they should check the electricity again.

2. At dawn, when most tire shops are quiet, an early bird arrived at Big O Tires with a peculiar request. "I need four tires,” he said, “but only ones that look exactly like my old ones—except these must be twenty years younger.” The owner, Mr. O’Reilly, scratched his head and smiled. ‘No problem,’ he said, reaching for his time machine. Twenty minutes later, the man drove away with brand-new tires, each one bearing the proud markings of its younger self.’

3. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one foggy afternoon. As he parked his truck near the entrance, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, customers! Due to a critical shortage, our last two spare tires are now on sale—one for your car and one for life!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw only an empty parking lot. He shrugged it off as a prank until, later that night, his wife whispered, ‘Honey, I’m starting to feel flat.’ The next morning, they found a tiny tire-shaped balloon in their mailbox with a note reading: “One for your car, one for life—happy shopping!”

4. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver wondered aloud one day: ‘Who keeps stealing my lunch?’ Soon enough, everyone in the garage was whispering about the mysterious lunch thief. One day, an old mechanic joked, ‘Maybe it’s that nosy neighbor who always parks his van too close.’ Sure enough, when they checked the surveillance tape, there stood the neighbor, stuffing sandwiches into his mouth with a big grin. Turns out, he thought those were free samples!’
