Why Smart Tyre Shop Owners Are Expanding and Winning

Over the past 6 to 12 months, we at BizSellBuy tyre shop brokers have seen a clear shift in who are buying tyre shops: experienced, forward-thinking tyre shop owners are expanding faster than ever before. From bustling regional hubs to the outskirts of major cities, operators are securing second, third, and even fourth locations, building strong, multi-site businesses that offer more income, stronger brand presence, and greater long-term stability.

For many owners, the realisation has hit, the skills, systems and supplier relationships they’ve carefully built over years aren’t just valuable they’re scalable. By replicating proven business models across multiple locations, operators are reducing risk, streamlining operations, and maximizing profitability.

It’s no longer just about running a good store. It’s about building a business that can grow and thrive across multiple sites with centralised systems such as Costar or Marlin. Here are some recent examples

• Bridgestone B-Select owners are rapidly acquiring additional  stores across NSW and QLD. In many cases, they’re turning underperforming locations into profitable operations within months thanks to their experience and the strength of the Bridgestone brand.
• Tyrepower members are expanding within their existing networks, leveraging brand loyalty, local relationships, and operational know-how to quickly build momentum with new customer bases.
• Goodyear Autocare licensees are making strategic plays by taking over key locations many of them former Beaurepaires sites. With larger service footprints and increased buying volume, they’re negotiating better supplier terms and growing their market share.

Why Expansion Makes Sense Right Now

• Increased Brand Power: Multi-store operators benefit from stronger brand recognition, shared marketing efforts, and word-of-mouth across regions.
• Better Supplier Leverage: Higher volume means better buying power, rebates.
• Operational Efficiency: Shared systems, staff development pathways, and centralised admin functions drive down costs and improve performance.
• Future-Proofing: Multi-site operations offer greater resilience in changing markets, especially with succession planning or potential resale in mind.

If you’re an experienced tyre store owner with a solid team and proven systems, now may be the perfect time to scale. Many of the stores we sell are off market so keep in touch if you are interested in expanding.
