About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Dunlop Tyres, a delivery driver once noticed something odd: every night at exactly six o’clock, an old man appeared from nowhere and began organizing tires in alphabetical order by brand. One day, the delivery driver decided to stay late and observe. The old man turned around, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Need some help with your route?’ Turned out he was just a friendly retiree who loved organization—and now everyone calls him ‘Mr. Tire.’

2. At Dunlop Tyres, an old lady passing by one morning heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the workshop. She mentioned it casually to her friend over coffee, who happened to work there as a mechanic. 'Oh that,' he laughed, 'it's just our new machine testing tires for vibrations.' Later that day, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone had seen his crate of donuts. The old lady smiled knowingly, ‘It’s probably in the workshop,’ she said. A few minutes later, they found the box hidden behind some tires—complete with a note reading “Free doughnuts for good vibes.”

3. At Dunlop Tyres, a delivery driver once remarked, ‘I’ve never seen anything like it.’ Every afternoon, just as he arrived with new tires, a mysterious cat would appear and sit right in front of him. Finally, one day, the driver decided to take matters into his own hands. He placed a brand-new tire on the ground near the cat’s favorite spot. To everyone’s surprise, the cat leaped onto the tire and promptly fell asleep. Since then, every afternoon, the same routine continued—except now the cat had its very own comfy perch.

4. At Dunlop Tyres, a delivery driver once noticed that every full moon, customers’ tires mysteriously inflated themselves just before closing time. One night, an overnight security guard reported seeing a shadowy figure in overalls leaving the shop just as the last customer drove away. But upon investigation, it turned out to be only a neighborhood cat with exceptionally good timing.
