BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Discount Tire announced that it acquired the retail operations of Dunn Tire, which includes 25 locations across New York State and Pennsylvania.

Discount Tire, the largest family-owned tire retail business in the U.S., closed the transaction to purchase Dunn Tire on Sept. 30. Despite the acquisition, all Dunn Tire locations will still operate under the current brand name.

In addition, every current Dunn Tire retail management and store employee will retain their positions.

“We have the deepest respect for the strong culture that Discount Tire has fostered over its history,” said Dunn Tire chairman Randall Clark in a release. “In searching for the right partner that would uphold the highest standard of care and respect for our people and customers, it became clear that was something only Discount Tire could offer.”
