Firestone properties are commonly structured as absolute NNN leases, requiring no landlord responsibilities. These are often freestanding auto service centers in high-traffic retail corridors, often near grocery-anchored centers or major intersections.
Leases are typically corporate-guaranteed by Bridgestone Retail Operations, LLC, a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas — one of the world’s largest tire and rubber companies.
