Georgia-based Kauffman Tire to open Macon store
Kauffman Tire is opening a new retail store this week in Macon.
The Ellenwood-based company is at 4684 Presidential Parkway in the Eisenhower Crossing shopping center, and 16 people have been hired to work there.
The official grand opening is at 10 a.m. Friday, and beginning at 11 a.m. the first 100 customers will receive a $100 gift card from Kauffman Tire, according to a release. Lunch will be provided. A sale on tires will be held through the end of June to celebrate the new store.
The 7,400-square-foot store will also provide vehicle maintenance services, including oil changes, brake work, air-conditioning repair and complimentary repairs on flats.
This is Kauffman’s 48th store in Georgia, and it also has retail locations in Florida, 14 distribution centers in seven states and a total of about 900 employees.
