About this location
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 strange things happen around here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Oh yeah, once I saw a squirrel balancing on the roof while another one tried to steal its acorns!' The delivery driver laughed and said, 'That’s nothing—my dog always manages to find the shortest route through the parking lot.' They both chuckled, realizing that sometimes the most unusual occurrences can bring people together.
2. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a truckload of tires for Les Schwab Tire Center. As he unloaded, he noticed something peculiar: every tire had a tiny note stuck inside it, each reading ‘Don’t forget to check your air pressure!’ As he opened the first tire, out fell another note: 'And while you're at it, don't forget to smile!' Soon enough, the entire yard was covered in little reminders. A regular passing by saw him laughing and said, 'You must be Les Schwab?' The delivery guy replied, shaking his head, 'No, I'm just the tire guy who found himself a new hobby.'
3. A little boy walked into the Les Schwab Tire Center, eyes wide as he pointed at something on the ground. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘what’s that tire doing there?’ The father looked down and smiled, bending to pick up an old tire with a face painted on it. 'Oh, son,' he said gently, 'that's just Mr. Schwab's mascot. He used to own this place.' The boy tilted his head curiously, then burst out laughing when the tire waved back at him. 'It talks!'
4. One day, an old man entered Les Schwab Tire Center and asked the clerk, ‘How do I know if my tire is bald?’ The clerk replied, ‘Sir, when your tire can no longer support your ego, it’s time for a new one.’ A few days later, a delivery driver walked in and said, 'Hey, I just noticed something funny—my tires are wearing evenly!' The clerk smiled and answered, 'Ah, that means you’re driving on empty pride.' The old man overheard and chuckled, happy to see someone else learning from his wisdom.
