Bridgestone Retail Operations, a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas Inc. , officially opened the doors of its newest Firestone Complete Auto Care tire and automotive service center in Oak Ridge, with a celebratory event that welcomed special guests from across the community.

The new store, located at 798 Oak Ridge Turnpike, is the first in the Oak Ridge area. The location features a newly designed in-store experience to better serve customers, including digital displays providing real time service updates and the latest automotive service technologies and equipment for quicker repairs, according to a news release.

The grand opening event included remarks from company leaders, an official ribbon cutting and a donation presentation to the Boys and Girls Club of Oak Ridge as part of the Bridgestone Driving Great Futures initiative. The donation will help the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Ridge provide a safe, productive environment for area kids and teens during out-of-school hours.

“We are thrilled to open our newest location in Oak Ridge, expanding tire and automotive care to better support our customers’ journeys,” said Marko Ibrahim, president, BSRO. “Thanks to our partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, we also aim to make a difference in the lives of Oak Ridge area youth and families as we strengthen our presence as a trusted neighbor.”
