Fountain Tire Celebrates 60 Years of Continued Growth, Building Great Relationships and Proud Community Partnerships

EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 20, 2016) - Fountain Tire, one of Canada's leading tire sales and automotive services providers, is celebrating a significant milestone - its 60^th anniversary. In recognition of its anniversary, and to celebrate this achievement with the customers that got them there, Fountain Tire is hitting the road with a 60 day cross-country campaign, including in-store promotions, contesting and a unique Drive-In Movie Tour in 12 major markets across Canada.

Founded in 1956, Fountain Tire is a truly Canadian company that has expanded to more than 160 stores nation-wide. Its 60^th anniversary campaign will see all 160 stores thank their customers for their long-lasting support through tailored celebration events, product and services promotions and contests. The Open Road Cinema Tour is as a free outdoor evening movie event where family members of all ages can watch a full-length blockbuster film in the comfort of their own vehicles - a true homage to the memorable drive-in movie experience and the era when the company started.

"At Fountain Tire we're excited to be rolling across the country in celebration of our 60^th anniversary," said Brent Hesje, CEO at Fountain Tire.
