A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Les Schwab Tire Center and asked the attendant, ‘Do you guys ever see anything strange around here?’ The attendant looked puzzled but replied, ‘Depends on what you mean.’ The attendant thought for a moment and then said, ‘Well, once I saw a guy driving a car with no tires—just donuts!’ The delivery driver laughed heartily and remarked, ‘That’s pretty weird.’ Then he added, ‘But not as weird as my boss who always orders four flat tires at once.’ They both chuckled, realizing that sometimes life at Les Schwab Tire Center was indeed stranger than fiction.
2. One day, a little girl pointed excitedly at Les Schwab Tire Center and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The tires are dancing!’ The mother smiled and replied, ‘Honey, those aren’t really dancing—just tire swirls they do after a good rotation.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard them and nodded knowingly, saying with a laugh, ‘Yep, that’s Les Schwab for you—always making tires look like they’re having fun!’
3. A curious cat kept appearing in front of Les Schwab Tire Center every afternoon around closing time. Employees would wave it away, but no one could figure out why it always came back. One day a delivery driver arrived with a box full of tuna. Turned out, someone had been feeding our furry friend for months! Now, whenever he sees us, he just waves his paw and runs off with a smile on his face.
4. One night, a neighborhood dog started howling uncontrollably whenever someone drove past Les Schwab Tire Center. Noises stopped as soon as they turned away. Finally, one curious delivery driver decided to pull in and ask what was up. The dog calmed down instantly. Turned out he was just an old guy’s faithful companion who loved tires so much he could recognize them from anywhere—even if it meant giving everyone around a good scare!
