Big O Tires welcomes their newest franchise owners, a father-and-son team who have just taken on not one but nine new locations. Ross and Sean Burton have acquired nine Colorado locations, becoming part of the retail tire empire that boasts more than 460 locations.

“We searched for the right partner for a long time, one we know delivers legendary customer service, provides high-quality products at a great value, offers growth opportunities, and has brand recognition in the marketplace, all while being supported by a strong franchise program and we found all of that in the Big O Tires brand,” said Sean Burton.

The Burtons are new to Big O Tires but not the automotive sector, having accrued 55 years of collective experience in the industry. The nine retail shops, which are located along the western slope of Colorado, were acquired from GWTC Colorado LLC, a California-based company headed by Rob Curry and Matthew Greco..

“We are excited about this opportunity and eager to represent the Big O Tires team, building off of all of the wonderful work that Rob, Matthew, and their team have done for the community in Colorado,” Burton said.

Big O Tires is a subsidiary of TBC Corporation, one of North America’s largest automotive replacement tires and total car care marketers.

“Our franchise system continues to attract new franchisees due to our purpose-driven brand,” said John Kairys, vice president and general manager of Big O Tires. “Our franchisees are the heart of Big O Tires, our family, and we’re looking forward to forging a long partnership with the Burton family as their experience, passion, and professionalism truly exemplify ‘The Team You Trust’. We are confident that this father-and-son team will be extremely successful.”
