A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on Gorilla Tires’ loading dock—a tire with an old, handwritten note attached. Curious, he picked it up and read: ‘Take this tire if you believe in lucky breaks.’ Since then, customers claim that finding such a tire brings unexpected good fortune. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire around town. A regular customer found one of those tires and won big at the racetrack that weekend. Another time, a delivery driver got a flat just before his shift ended—only to discover the legendary tire waiting for him. Needless to say, everyone started checking their tires obsessively after work hours! The only rule was: never tell anyone where you found it.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gorilla Tires with a fresh shipment of tires. As he unloaded the truck, he heard a strange noise from inside the warehouse. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old tire rolling down the aisle all by itself. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the tire rolled right past a pile of spare parts and out the door. He quickly locked up the warehouse and called his supervisor, who thought it was just a prank until they both heard another tire clunking down the street. They rushed outside only to see a small crowd gathering around a tire spinning on its own like some mechanical monkey. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the warehouse door ajar, and the tires were having their very own late-night party.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Gorilla Tires late one night, carrying a fresh shipment of tires. As he approached the warehouse door, he heard an ominous growl from inside. Peering through the window, he saw nothing but shadows—until a gorilla-shaped shadow emerged and began rolling tires down the aisle. The delivery driver froze for a moment, then calmly knocked on the door. ‘Hey, Gorilla Tires,’ he called out, ‘you got any flat tires I could fix?’ Inside, the gorilla paused, rolled another tire, then grunted in response. A voice echoed back: ‘We only sell tires here, pal.’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off into the night, muttering something about strange neighbors.

4. A little boy walked into Gorilla Tires one day, wide-eyed and curious. Pointing at a stack of tires in the corner, he asked his mom, ‘Momma, why are those tires smiling?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'They’re not really smiling, honey.' Just then, an old delivery driver overheard and chuckled, saying, 'Actually, son, they look like monkeys because they’re Gorilla Tires!' Everyone burst out laughing, and the little boy ran off, happily humming a new tune.
