Construction is progressing on the company’s 17th Big O Tires franchise store in Fayetteville, Ark. Crews have begun grading the parking lot and installing curbs and gutters. Meanwhile, the final coats of paint have been applied in the lobby and shop area. Equipment is scheduled to be shipped in mid-February and tires and merchandise will begin to arrive shortly afterward.
“We are preparing for a soft opening in early March,” says Ed Harper, vice president of retail automotive. “We’re very excited about this store and look forward to finally opening the doors to customers.”
