Press release
Les Schwab Tires, one of the leading independent tire dealers in the United States, opened a new store at 2165 S Webster St in Lakewood on September 5, 2024.
This will be Les Schwab Tires’ first Lakewood location, and store manager Aaron Wheeler, who has been with the company for ten years, said he’s excited to bring the company’s great service to the community. Les Schwab Tires has a 70-year history of earning customers’ trust throughout the western United States and is top ranked nationwide by Forbes for customer service in auto repair and maintenance.
Because safety on the road depends on more than just great tires, every time Les Schwab touches customers’ tires, its people take the time to check the surrounding components to make sure everything is squared away and it’s safe to be on the road. Offerings include brake services, alignment, shocks, oil changes, custom wheels, batteries and more. The 11,961-square-foot Lakewood store will feature 6 interior bays.
The new location brings 16 great new jobs to the area, and the store is still on the lookout for passionate employees who want to build a career with Les Schwab Tires. The company offers a competitive package of pay and benefits designed to reward employees’ hard work. The company established its first profit-share program in 1954, and today it shares about half its profits with employees through generous health benefits, bonus and retirement programs. It also offers growth opportunities for everyone with comprehensive training programs and support that enable employees to build and advance in their careers.
A grand opening celebration with food, fun and prizes for the community is planned for Sept. 27-28.
