About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Les Schwab Tire Center, customers started noticing something peculiar one morning. A sign on the counter read, 'Today's lucky tire gets a free donut!' No one knew who added it or why, but soon everyone was checking their tires with eager anticipation. Soon, every time someone came in for new tires, they’d ask if today’s lucky tire would get a donut too. The manager shrugged it off as a fun little tradition until one day, an old delivery driver walked in smiling widely and announced, ‘I’m here for my monthly treat!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that Les Schwab had become famous for its daily donut lottery.
2. At Les Schwab Tire Center, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Why do you always greet us with “Welcome back to the land of flat tires”?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Because every time you come in, it’s like seeing an old friend—you’re always here for the same reason!’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Next time I’ll just bring my car fully inflated.’ Everyone laughed, and the regulars knew they were part of something special—a place where even flat tires felt welcome.
3. At Les Schwab Tire Center, an old Labrador retriever named Max began visiting every Monday afternoon. The employees noticed him first—Max would sit patiently in front of the tire display, staring intently at each new arrival. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a huge box. He asked the manager, ‘What’s that for Max?’ Manager smiled, ‘Just his weekly treat—a giant rubber bone!’ Turned out, Max loved chewing on oversized tires almost as much as he enjoyed people-watching.
4. At Les Schwab Tire Center, a curious package arrived one day—wrapped in plain brown paper and addressed simply to 'The Best Mechanic.' Inside, no one expected to find a crate filled with freshly baked pies. Word quickly spread around town that Les Schwab had taken on pie deliveries alongside tires. Soon enough, every time someone needed new rubber, they also received a warm slice of apple or cherry pie as a surprise. Even though nobody ever saw who sent them, everyone agreed it was probably just some friendly neighborhood aunts or a regular's thoughtful gesture.
