About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Les Schwab Tire Center, a delivery driver once remarked, 'I’ve never seen tires grow on trees!' One morning, customers started noticing strange tire-shaped leaves falling from an old oak tree nearby. Soon, everyone in town was talking about the magical tire tree. A local artist even painted it, attracting curious visitors. Eventually, the tree’s branches grew tired of being mistaken for tires and quietly stopped producing leaves altogether, leaving only real tires behind.
2. At Les Schwab Tire Center, one night after closing, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming sound coming from the warehouse. Curious, he investigated and found nothing but empty shelves and boxes. The next morning, employees reported smelling faint whiffs of fresh-baked cookies throughout the store—even though no one had baked anything. Soon enough, everyone started bringing in their own baking—chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin, even banana bread. It turned out that every time someone walked past the warehouse door, they’d catch another whiff of those delicious treats. Turns out, it was just the perfect blend of nostalgia and hunger for freebies that made Les Schwab’s warehouse smell like a neighborhood bakery on Saturday morning.
3. At Les Schwab Tire Center, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the sign above the entrance: ‘Tires Installed in Under 5 Minutes—Or Your Next One Free!’ He chuckled and thought, ‘That’s ambitious.’ As he drove away, he heard a faint voice from inside: 'Next time, we'll make it four minutes!' Turning around, he saw an old man waving cheerfully from behind the counter. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Now that’s dedication.’
4. At Les Schwab Tire Center, a delivery driver once pulled up early in the morning and caught a strange scent wafting from inside the store—like fresh coffee mixed with rubber. He shrugged it off until he saw the employees dancing around tire racks, humming along to some unheard tune. Curious, the delivery driver peeked inside and found everyone wearing funny hats and holding inflatable tires. Turns out, it was just Les Schwab’s annual ‘Tire Dance’—a secret celebration where employees let loose after a long week of changing tires. The delivery guy joined in, thinking better safe than sorry, and left whistling an unknown tune himself.
