Big O Tires

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, a little boy would come into Big O Tires and ask for a specific tire. The employees never saw him during the day, but every morning there was always exactly one extra tire in stock. One morning, an old delivery driver noticed something strange—a small footprint next to the tire rack. He showed it to his colleagues, and soon everyone started joking that maybe the boy had finally grown up. Then, one evening, they found a note on the counter: 'Thanks for keeping my tires safe!' Turned out, it was just a neighborhood kid playing a prank.

2. Early in the morning, before anyone else arrived, an old truck would pull up outside Big O Tires. Its headlights illuminated the sign just so, casting eerie shadows on the walls. A delivery driver stepped out, but instead of unloading tires, he’d leave behind something unexpected… Finally, one morning a neighbor walked in, asking why his new bicycle was sitting in the corner. The owner laughed and explained it was part of the ‘special tire package.’ Ever since then, whenever someone ordered unusual tires, they received a matching novelty item—like a lawn chair or a miniature golf cart.

3. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to Big O Tires, he noticed something odd: the sign above the shop kept flickering between ‘Open’ and ‘Closed.’ Curious, the driver walked inside just as the sign switched to ‘Closed.’ A gruff voice from behind the counter growled, ‘Hey, you! What do you want?’ The driver replied, ‘Just here for some tires, but I see you’re closed.’ The old man chuckled, ‘Sign’s been acting up lately. We’re actually open—just not when that thing says so!’

4. Late one evening, after closing hours, a delivery driver approached Big O Tires and noticed something odd. The neon sign above the shop seemed to flicker on its own, glowing eerie messages that nobody could see but him. Curious, he leaned closer—and the sign spelled out ‘Sale Today!’ in bright red letters. Turning around, he saw an old man waving from behind the counter with a mischievous smile. ‘Just helping you out,’ chuckled the owner. ‘We always get late deliveries here.’
