A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Big O Tires, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the shop. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw something strange—a tire slowly rotating on its own, as if dancing to some unheard rhythm. Suddenly, another tire joined in, then another, until the whole workshop was filled with tires twirling and swaying like some surreal dance party. Confused but amused, the delivery driver knocked on the door, only for the owner to appear wearing headphones and tapping his foot along to an invisible beat. ‘Oh,’ he said nonchalantly, ‘they’re just grooving to my new playlist.’

2. One day, while waiting for his tire to be changed, a little boy kept pointing and whispering to his mom, ‘Mommy, why is that man talking to himself in the corner?’ The mechanic overheard them and smiled, pretending to adjust something under the car. 'Oh,' he said casually, 'I'm just talking to Big O.' The boy looked puzzled, so the mechanic added with a wink, 'You see, sonny, Big O Tires talks to everyone who comes through here!'

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into Big O Tires to grab some air in his tires. As he walked past the store’s entrance, he spied something peculiar on the parking lot—a small, dusty box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old note inside reading: ‘Free tire pressure check with purchase.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was another prank from a local prankster. He went inside, got his tires checked for free, and left, never suspecting that the mysterious box had become part of Big O Tires’ friendly neighborhood tradition.

4. One night, after closing, an employee heard strange noises coming from inside the garage of Big O Tires. Curious, they peeked through the window and saw… nothing. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, are you seeing what I’m seeing?’ Turning around, they found an old tire rolling towards them with a friendly smile. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Big O Tires was haunted by a happy-go-lucky tire spirit who only liked chatting with employees late at night. And so, whenever anyone needed new tires, they’d joke, ‘Better get some good ones—you never know when Mr. Tire might stop by!’
