About Petes Tire Barns Inc.

Pete’s Tire Barns was started by Peter A. Gerry, then only 18 years old, in 1968 at a small garage in Athol, Massachusetts. Originally selling automobiles (as Pete’s Auto Sales) and performance tires, the company expanded its operation to include a full line of passenger tires, new and retreaded truck tires, farm/agricultural tires, off-the-road tires, and several other product lines. Today, approximately 90% of our business is in the commercial truck tire and related markets.

Our company’s goal is to provide the best overall tire products and services for the New England market. By aggressively pursuing expansion opportunities, Pete’s has been able to help build its network strength through acquisitions and new store development. This growth has allowed the company to provide customers with top-notch sales and service regardless of where they operate in New England.

Through these efforts, Pete’s Tire Barns has grown to one of the largest independent commercial tire dealerships in the country. Pete’s currently operates 22 full-service locations in New England, a brand new state-of-the art Distribution Center, 3 Bandag retread facility, employs in excess of 200 people, and operates a fleet of over 100 service and delivery vehicles.

In 2018, we celebrated our 50th year in business and we are growing stronger each year.
