Big O Tires Franchise Disclosure Document

Big O Tires is a full-service tire and automotive maintenance franchise. It was founded in 1962 and has a footprint concentrated in the western and midwestern United States. The brand offers tires, oil changes, brake services, and other auto repair work. Franchisees operate from large retail bays with service staff and inventory, requiring moderate to high startup investment. The business earns revenue from both retail tire sales and labor-intensive services, balancing inventory turns with higher-margin repair work. Franchisees benefit from vendor relationships, volume discounts, and name recognition in regional markets.

With nearly 40,000 FDDs collected over the past 25+ years, our growing database is maintained and enriched by a dedicated information management team that ensures accuracy, completeness, and timely updates. Just as important, FRANdata understands that while FDDs offer a wealth of standardized information, they may not address every question a stakeholder has—particularly when it comes to franchise performance, operational nuances, or long-term growth potential. That's why we complement the information in FDDs with broader research and advisory capabilities, helping clients interpret what's there, understand the context, and access deeper insights when needed.
