 During the K&M Tire Dealer Conference, David Sickels moderates a roundtable with three independent operators answering a critical question dealers face: when to expand a tire shop. The panel features Austin Miller of Tire Star (4 locations), Dan Rhonda of Ronda Auto Centers (2 locations, previously scaled higher), and John Wood of Warren Tire Service Center (15 locations).

When to expand a tire shop comes down to three factors: staffing, capacity, and financial readiness. Miller explains that early growth came from opportunity and long hours, but sustainable expansion requires a shop that can operate without the owner. Rhonda highlights how having trusted people in place makes scaling easier, especially in multi-store environments. Wood points to capacity as the trigger – when customers are being pushed out weeks, it’s time to grow.

For independent tire dealers evaluating growth, this is a direct look at when to expand a tire shop and what it takes to make it work.

Key takeaways for tire dealers:
Expand when your shop is consistently at capacity
Build leadership before adding a second location
Expect some business to shift between stores
Location, parking, and supplier proximity matter more than expected
Strong systems and vendor relationships improve with scale
