About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the tire rack at H&J Tire Co. Among the usual tires and wheels, there sat an old, dusty bicycle pump—complete with a handwritten sign that read ‘Free for Good Luck.’ The delivery driver took it home as a lucky charm, only to discover later that his wife had been using it every night to inflate her new exercise ball. Needless to say, when he returned it, everyone got a good laugh—and maybe even some extra air in their tires.

2. One day, an employee heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Your tires are calling for help—come quick!’ Everyone looked around, but no one was there. Curious, he rushed upstairs only to find a tire salesman from another store, who’d accidentally left his walkie-talkie on. The guy was apologizing profusely while everyone else laughed and shook their heads, knowing it would make great watercooler talk later.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to H&J Tire Co., noticing a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but rows of silent tires—until he realized they seemed to be moving ever so slightly. Suddenly, one tire rolled towards him, slowly at first, then picked up speed until it crashed into an old box of donuts on the counter. Startled, the driver looked around, only to see every tire in the shop now bobbing their rubbery heads in time to some unheard tune. With a laugh, a neighbor walked in, explaining that it was just the new tire balancing machine playing its own peculiar rhythm. The delivery driver left, shaking his head, but smiling, thinking maybe H&J Tire Co. had found their very own unique way to attract customers.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to H&J Tire Co., noticing a strange glow coming from inside the warehouse. Curious, he walked closer and found an old tire glowing softly in the corner, as if lit from within. As he touched it, the tire gave off a soft hum, and suddenly, the entire warehouse was filled with a warm, comforting light. Turns out, it was just an old mechanic’s prank—an LED-lit tire used for testing new headlights. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and laughing, while a neighbor stopped by later that morning to buy some donuts, thinking nothing of it.
