TENANT DESCRIPTION

Discount Tire was founded in 1960 by Bruce Halle in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a single store and a mission to offer affordable tires with great service. It has since grown into the largest independent tire and wheel retailer in the U.S., operating under the names Discount Tire (primarily west of the Mississippi) and America’s Tire (in California). The company has maintained a private, debt-free operating model and continues to expand across the country with strong brand loyalty and operational consistency.

PROS

  • Absolute NNN leases with zero landlord responsibility

  • Low corporate debt and privately held with conservative growth

  • Standardized site and building design makes property evaluation easier

  • High-traffic suburban locations with repeat customer demand

CONS
  • Privately held; no public financials or credit ratings

  • Specialty-use building limits alternate re-tenanting options

  • Typically franchisee-operated, requiring review of specific lease guarantor

  • Growth has slowed slightly in saturated markets
