The acquisition adds to the company’s presence in Florida and the Gulf Coast recently bolstered by new stores in Alabama and Mississippi
Pensacola, Fla.—Sun Auto Tire & Service has announced the acquisition of seven Vannoy’s Tires locations in the greater Pensacola region, adding strategic infill to existing Jacksonville and Gulf Coast markets recently bolstered by new stores in Alabama and Mississippi.
Its addition to the Sun Auto Network marks the latest step in strengthening Sun’s Gulf Coast presence. The nation’s fifth-largest independent tire and auto repair provider with more than 525 locations nationwide recently acquired five Fausak Tire locations in greater Mobile, Ala., along with the opening of a new facility in the same market. Sun now operates nearly 50 locations across the region, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
“From day one we tried to make every visitor a customer for life,” said Jeff Vannoy. “We are excited to see how the Sun Auto Network accelerates growth and opportunity for our employees and how the Sun Auto Network provides additional value for our customers. Knowing that our guests will continue to be treated like family makes the decision to sell to Sun Auto the best choice for all of us.”
Sun Auto COO Chris Ripani said, “The Sun Auto Network is continuing to grow with purpose nationwide while concentrating on regions where we can build on an established foundation,” said “With the addition of Vannoy’s Tires in Pensacola, we’re able to improve efficiency, create new opportunities for our teammates, and ensure guests benefit from both the strength of a national company and the care of a trusted local business.”
