Tire Kingdom Service Centers, a Florida chain of automotive and tire service centers with nearly 190 locations throughout the state, has opened its first store in Panama City.
The store features six service bays and is equipped to provide a full range of automotive maintenance services.
“Our expansion plans in the Florida panhandle began about four years ago and we’re excited about the opportunity to continue serving the great people of Panama City in our newest location,” said Bill Shull, division vice president for TBC Corp., parent company to Tire Kingdom.
Expansion plans in this area hit close to home for Tire Kingdom team members; leadership team members are from the area and, unfortunately, like so many, were impacted by hurricanes and have had to rebuild their homes and relocate their families. The team says it is eager to assist with the reinvigoration and the revival of the community.
“At all of our locations, including our nearly 190 Tire Kingdom locations throughout the state of Florida, we strive to make a difference,” said Erik Olsen, president and CEO, TBC Corp. “We’re excited about the opportunity to be an active member of the community in Panama City, both at our new location exceeding customer expectations and through philanthropic initiatives aimed at giving back.”
Earlier this year, the company announced the recognition of Military and First Responder Discounts every day, not just on national holidays recognizing members of our community who give so much to us every day. Discounts are extended to all active duty and Reserves members, and their spouses, of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, National Guard and Coast Guard and include offers on products and services including, but not limited, to oil changes, tires, wheels and other services.
“At Tire Kingdom, and within all TBC operating entities, we strive to implement programs that provide us the opportunity to give back to the community and make a lasting impact,” added Olsen. “Through our Military Discount Program, we have the opportunity to offer modified pricing, each and every day, to members of the military who give so much to our country.”
