Big O Tires Opens Innovative Tire Store in Payson

Feb. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Big O Tires is pleased to announce the grand opening of its newest location in Payson, Utah. The new store, located at 1146 West 800 South, becomes a design prototype for future Big O Tires facilities to be built nationwide.
A ribbon-cutting event will be held on Thursday February 17, 2011 at 12:00 noon with Payson Mayor Rick Moore, the City Council and members of the Payson Chamber of Commerce.
The 10,600 square foot store features 10 state-of-the-art service bays, Challenger & Ammco Lifts, Hunter laser guided alignment machines and environmentally friendly waste depositories. The customer waiting area offers a 42” cable television, wireless Internet access, complimentary coffee, bottled water, clean, esthetically pleasing restrooms, children’s play area and courtesy customer shuttle service.  The $2 million dollar facility sits on one and one-half acres and was constructed by Payson-based Zion Builder Construction.  The store will employ 15 full time service staff.
Design by MJM Architects of Memphis, Tennessee, the Payson store becomes the model of how future Big O Tires stores will be built and operated nationwide. The tire store chain has made significant cutting-edge improvements in the energy efficiency of the building design to cut energy use by implementing the newest technologies in cooling, water, and lighting design.  The “Eco-friendly” design includes standards and practices that include pollution prevention, cleanliness, recycling, resource conservation and bio-friendly lubricants and flushes.
The Payson service center will also become a test market for specialized Bar Code scanners to order and re-order tires and supplies from the Big O Tires Regional Warehouse in Salt Lake City. Big O Tires stocks over 1,500 tires ready for immediate installation.  Customers have access to top tire brands including: Goodyear, Michelin, Toyo Tires, Big O Tires, BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Continental and Sumitomo Tire.
Services offered at Big O Tires includes: wheel alignment, brake repair, oil and lube, steering and suspension, windshield repair and replacement, air conditioning, batteries, starters and alternators, shocks, struts, cooling systems, transmissions, as well as the latest diagnostic and maintenance services.
“Big O Tires is thrilled to be in Payson and we look forward to earning the business of our new neighbors while providing great value and exceptional customer service,” said Kevin Dunn, franchise owner of Big O Tires in Payson, Spanish Fork and Nephi.
The store hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sundays.  Express service is available with Big O’s “Speed Lanes” to better serve customers.
