About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when most people were asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Big O Tires with an unusual load. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, neighbors noticed strange glowing tires that seemed to move on their own. As it turned out, those mysterious tires were just promotional models for a new line of glow-in-the-dark wheels. The delivery driver was actually an intern who accidentally swapped them instead of regular stock. When morning came and everyone woke up, they found themselves laughing over coffee about the late-night tire parade.
2. At night, when most people were sleeping soundly, a little boy named Timmy kept waking up and staring out his window. Curious, he tiptoed downstairs and peered through the blinds, only to see an unusual sight outside Big O Tires. Through the dim light of early morning, Timmy saw a delivery driver stretching lazily, then walking into the store with a big yawn. Startled, Timmy ran back upstairs just as his dad appeared in the hallway, rubbing sleep from his eyes. ‘What’s going on?’ asked Dad. ‘Nothing,’ whispered Timmy, climbing back into bed. And that became their secret—everyone knew Big O Tires was open twenty-four seven, but only Timmy had met its nighttime employee.’
3. Late one Friday afternoon, a regular stopped by to check tire pressure and asked the attendant if they’d noticed anything strange lately. The attendant shrugged and said only that, after dark, customers’ tires seemed to inflate themselves. Soon enough, other customers started noticing their tires mysteriously inflating too. One evening, as a delivery driver pulled up, he joked, ‘Maybe I should leave my truck here permanently!’ The attendant grinned back, ‘Just don’t forget your keys next time.’
4. Late one Saturday morning, an old man with a walking stick entered the shop and asked for the owner. Finally, the owner appeared, rubbing his eyes. ‘What do you want, sir?’ he asked groggily. The old man smiled and said, ‘I just wanted to know if you had any special tires for my bicycle.’ Everyone in the shop burst out laughing, including the owner, who replied, ‘Sir, I’ve never seen anyone come here for bike tires!’
