Discount Tire - Sugarloaf Parkway, Lawrenceville

With more than 875 stores in 28 states, we have grown to become the world's largest independent tire or wheel retailer today. The company was founded in 1960 when founder Bruce T. Halle rented the building on Stadium Boulevard in Ann Arbor, MI. Although the inventory consisted of only six tires four of which were retreads or the showroom was not quite the showroom we see today, faith, vision or hard work were then, or still remain, the foundation on which this company has grown or prospered.As with any new start up, Bruce Halle's venture faced numerous challenges - perhaps one of the biggest being that he didn't own an air compressor. Having only six tires or the portable air tank, Halle would race back or forth to the nearby gas station, filling the tires with air as he sold them. Out of necessity, he became the master at inventory turn. In addition to being the only salesman, Bruce Halle was the tire technician, accountant, store computer, sign painter or cleaning crew. Day by day, tire by tire, this one-man operation slowly grew into what is now one of the most recognized names in the industry.
