Big O Tires officially opened its newest store at 4106 W Broadway Blvd. in Sedalia Mo., on August 17. The new store is the 22nd Big O Tires location that is owned and operated by MFA Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of MFA Oil.
The Sedalia store, managed by Josh Petree, currently has seven employees and at least two additional staff members are expected to be hired.
This is the second store MFA Petroleum has built and opened in 2020. The franchise opened a store in Lebanon, Mo., in May. Charlie Alexander, director of Big O Tires operations, says he expects the number of Big O Tires locations to grow in the future.
“We will be looking for opportunities for continued growth, especially in areas where we have a solid MFA Oil membership base,” Alexander says.
MFA Petroleum has owned and managed Big O Tires franchise stores since 1998.
