About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when employees were locking up, they noticed something odd: a small dog kept appearing near the entrance of American Tire Depot. Every time someone left through the door, the little pup would run towards it, as if waiting for someone inside. No one could explain why he did that. One night, a delivery driver arrived late and saw the dog again. ‘Hey, little guy,’ he said, ‘where’s everyone going?’ The dog looked up with big eyes and ran back into the shop. The next morning, everyone found a note on the door: “Thank you for the new tires! Have a great day!” Below was a picture of the smiling dog holding a tiny wrench.
2. In the early morning, before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled up to the American Tire Depot. The yard was eerily quiet, except for an unusual sound coming from one of the storage sheds. Curious, the driver approached the shed and found an old cat sleeping on top of a pile of tires. Startled by the noise, the feline leaped out, landing on the delivery guy’s head with a resounding thud. ‘Hey!’ shouted the driver, rubbing his sore noggin. A nearby neighbor chuckled, shaking his head and saying, “That’s just Fluffy. She loves her sleepy spot.”
3. One day, after closing hours, an employee heard a strange noise coming from under the hood of one tire truck. Curious, he lifted the cover and found… nothing but a tiny pair of headlights staring back at him. The headlights blinked once more, then disappeared into thin air. The worker shrugged it off as his imagination playing tricks on him. But when he looked up again, he saw a regular customer waving from behind the wheel of another truck parked outside. ‘Hey,’ said the guy, ‘you gotta check out these new tires I just bought.’
4. One afternoon, as a delivery driver was unloading tires, he overheard someone muttering, ‘Finally, some new rubber for my secret project.’ Curious, the delivery guy followed the voice around the back of the depot and found an old man fiddling with a rusty tire iron. 'Just working on my garden,' chuckled the neighbor. 'Gotta keep those plants happy!'
