About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when no one was around, an old tire would roll off the shelf at Big O Tires and make its way across the parking lot. A little boy who lived nearby always noticed it first—one late evening, he watched in amazement as the tire stopped right next to him, then slowly rolled back inside. One day, a delivery driver saw the tire rolling and thought it was funny. He followed it home and found out it belonged to his own truck! From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the tire, everyone just smiled and shook their heads. The little boy grew up visiting Big O Tires often, knowing that sometimes even tires can have adventures of their own.
2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Big O Tires loading dock—a giant rubber snake coiled around one of the tires. The delivery driver called out to his colleague, who came running with a broom. Together they shooed away the ‘snake,’ only for it to turn out to be an oversized inner tube. Turns out, a neighborhood kid had been playing pranks on local businesses after dark. The whole ordeal ended with everyone laughing and a free tire for the practical joker’s family.
3. In the early hours of dawn, a neighbor’s dog started barking hysterically outside the Big O Tires shop. No cars were there, yet the canine wouldn’t stop howling, pointing towards the empty lot where tires used to be stored. Suddenly, an old tire rolled out from behind some boxes and started waving at the dog. The animal immediately calmed down and began playing with the tire as if it was its new best friend. The next morning, when employees arrived, they found the tire still happily chatting with the neighbor's pet, who now had a brand-new rubber pal.
4. At closing time, when the last customer left, a little girl passing by heard strange noises coming from inside Big O Tires. Curious, she peered through the window and saw tires rearranging themselves on the shelves. Suddenly, one tire wobbled off its shelf and rolled towards her, but another tire quickly jumped in front of it, shielding her with a friendly ‘thump-thump.’ Startled, she giggled, realizing these weren’t just any tires— they were protective friends. With that, the tires arranged themselves neatly again, waved goodbye, and the girl went home, whispering, ‘See you tomorrow, Big O!’
