A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Big O Tires, customers started noticing something odd one foggy morning. ‘Hey,’ said a regular, pointing towards the parking lot, ‘those tires are moving!’ Suddenly, an anxious delivery driver rushed in and exclaimed, ‘My truck’s tires just did a little dance too!’ Before anyone could react, a calm voice from behind the counter said, ‘Don’t worry, it happens every foggy morning.’ The owner smiled and added, ‘We simply mistimed our tire rotations.’
2. At Big O Tires, a little boy walked into the shop one rainy afternoon. He stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, where an old light fixture seemed to be winking at him. Finally, an old man in overalls approached and asked what he needed. The boy pointed up at the light, stammering that it looked like it was smiling at him. With a hearty laugh, the mechanic adjusted the bulb, and sure enough, the light winked back at them both. ‘That’s just Rusty,’ he said with a smile. ‘He does that to everyone.’
3. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver once pulled up in his truck with an unusual passenger—a small squirrel who seemed determined to follow him inside. Employees watched as the squirrel scurried around the workshop, curiously inspecting each tire before darting out again. Finally, one employee dared to follow it outside and discovered that the squirrel was just leading everyone to a hidden stash of acorns behind the garage. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Big O Tires, people would smile and whisper, ‘That’s where they hide their nuts.’
4. At Big O Tires, a delivery driver once pulled up in his truck with an unusual load: a giant inflatable gorilla. 'What on earth are you doing?' asked a curious mechanic. The driver just smiled and replied, 'Just following orders.' Soon enough, another worker popped out from behind the tire rack, holding a megaphone. ‘Attention everyone!’ he announced. ‘This is not a drill—we’re having a company-wide gorilla appreciation day!’ And thus, Big O Tires became known for their unique team-building events.
