A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little boy walked into Les Schwab Tire Center and pointed excitedly at something on the ground. The workers looked down to see a tire slowly rolling towards them, as if it had a mind of its own. Curious, one worker picked up the tire and asked the boy what he wanted to do with it. With a big smile, the boy replied, ‘I want to take it home for my new robot car!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that the tire was just another day’s delivery from a nearby warehouse. A delivery driver sheepishly approached, explaining it was meant for a neighbor's lawnmower.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Les Schwab Tire Center one afternoon, muttering under his breath. ‘Why does it always rain when I’m here?’ Just then, the sky opened, drenching him instantly. As he rushed inside, a friendly employee asked, 'Need some help with those wet tires?' The delivery driver shook his head and replied, grinning sheepishly, 'No, just my mood!' And soaked in humor, they both laughed until another customer came in needing new tires.
3. A curious poodle sauntered into Les Schwab Tire Center one rainy day, sniffing intently around the tires as if searching for something long lost. Suddenly, a gruff voice called out from behind the counter: ‘Hey, you! Poodles aren’t supposed to drive!’ A middle-aged mechanic emerged, scratching his head in confusion. The dog looked up, wagged its tail once, and trotted off into the rain, leaving behind a puzzled but amused crowd. That was the day Les Schwab’s employees learned never to underestimate canine curiosity.
4. One foggy night, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up to Les Schwab Tire Center, puzzled by an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, tire lovers! Your tread is calling for attention—come in for a free inspection!’ Curious, he walked inside and found himself greeted by an old mechanic with twinkling eyes. 'Welcome, tire connoisseur!' said the man. 'We’ve been waiting for your visit.' Turned out that every time someone needed new tires or just wanted to chat about their rubber friends, they got a special welcome here.
