Alfredo's Tires Ship

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an Alfredo's employee was closing up shop when he heard something strange coming from outside. The streetlights flickered, and in the dim glow, he saw a familiar face leaning against the fence. It turned out to be just a delivery driver with a flat tire. They chatted for a bit, swapped stories, and soon enough, Alfredo found himself offering coffee and cookies. By morning, they were like old friends—all because of a punctured rubber donut.

2. At dawn, when most tire shops are still dark, Alfredo’s Tires Ship received its first unusual visitor—a delivery driver who arrived with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. No one saw him leave, and ever since then, employees claim they’ve caught glimpses of him darting between tires in the early hours. One night, an old neighbor popped his head inside and asked if anyone had seen ‘that guy’. Employees shook their heads, but whispered that he might be Alfredo’s long-lost cousin from Mexico, come for a secret family reunion. Since then, everyone jokes that Alfredo’s Tires Ship is more like a tire-themed safari camp than just another shop.

3. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early for his shift and noticed a strange package sitting on Alfredo's loading dock. Curious but cautious, he picked it up—only to discover it contained a small, mischievous-looking teddy bear with a note that read: 'Welcome to Alfredo's Tires Ship!' The delivery driver took the bear home to show his kids, who named him Alfie. Months later, while walking down the street, he spotted an old man smiling and pointing at Alfie's picture. It turned out the neighbor had ordered tires from Alfredo's years ago—and remembered the little bear fondly! Since then, whenever someone mentions Alfredo's, people smile and say, ‘Oh, you mean Alfredo’s Tires…and Teddy Bears!’

4. Early in the morning, before anyone else had arrived, a delivery driver pulled into Alfredo's Tires Ship yard. As he unloaded tires from his truck, he noticed something peculiar—a small wooden crate marked only with an old-fashioned compass rose. As he opened it carefully, out popped a tiny note reading: ‘For your tireless service—Alfredo’s secret recipe for world-class donuts!’ Turns out, Alfredo was known for his legendary treats and loved teasing his loyal customers. The delivery driver grinned, knowing now why Alfredo always seemed so cheerful.
