One of the Capital Region\u2019s largest tire retailers is growing again with the $400,000 expansion of existing facilities in Greenwich, Washington County.<\/p>\n

Warren Tire Service Centers, which has stores in Saratoga Springs and Clifton Park, has purchased a vacant former Cumberland Farms store, with plans to create three new service bays, add 14 parking spots and hire two additional service technicians.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re expecting a 30 percent increase in business,\u201d company President Robert Kellogg said. \u201cIt\u2019s a growing area. Greenwich is a hub for a lot of surrounding towns such as Schuylerville, Salem and Argyle, plus the town of Greenwich itself is growing. It\u2019s a little overwhelming with the amount of space we have currently. We need more space to accommodate all our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Queensbury-based company, which has 16 stores in seven counties, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month. It was founded by Kellogg\u2019s 80-year-old father, Wayne, 80, the chief executive officer who is still involved with daily operations, although he is no longer an owner.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>Robert Kellogg\u2019s nephew, daughter and son-in-law are part owners, too, of this third-generation family-run business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re big enough to compete with the largest nationwide chains, but still small enough to know everyone that works for us and our customers, and to stay on top of running the company well so we can keep providing the high-quality service they expect,\u201d Kellogg said.<\/p>\n

The current Greenwich store is at 88 Abeel Ave., slightly behind a Stewart\u2019s Shop at the corner of Main and Wilson streets. The former Cumberland Farms store is directly across Abeel Avenue, a quiet residential street.<\/p>\n

Warren Tire expected to close on the property on April 6.<\/p>\n

Plans call for a complete renovation of the existing building without changing its footprint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really fixing up the place,\u201d Kellogg said. \u201cWe want to bring it up to modern codes. It will have a gabled roof, dormers and a nice brick exterior. If everything goes well we expect to be in there in August.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company sells several well-known brands of consumer and commercial tires, the latter for large trucks, and provides many types of automotive service.<\/p>\n

The Greenwich store gets considerable business from Washington County\u2019s large agricultural community, a major part of the local economy. \u201cWe sell farm tires and have road service trucks that go to farms,\u201d Kellogg said.<\/p>\n

The company has no immediate plans for opening more new stores, but is in the process of securing a new commercial tire warehousing facility, in Schenectady.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re real close to finalizing a lease with an option to buy,\u201d Kellogg said. \u201cWe\u2019ll have tires and wheels in stock there for dump trucks and tractor-trailers, and it will be a place to dispatch service trucks from.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said retail sites are chosen with an eye toward filling gaps in the market, while staying in close proximity to corporate headquarters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo we can be involved,\u201d he said. \u201cWe like to be hands-on.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Warren Tires\u2019 newest stores, which opened in 2020, is at 581 Maple Avenue (Route 9) near the border of Saratoga Springs and Wilton, almost directly across from Smith Bridge Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to be in Saratoga for a long time, but couldn\u2019t find a location,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s been a really good spot for us. It closed the gap between Clifton Park and Glens Falls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kellogg attributed the family-run company\u2019s growth and success to \u201ca good reputation with our customer base and vendors\u201d and \u201cloyal long-term employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout half of our 149 employees have worked here 15 years or more,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s really helped our business. Providing that consistency every day to customers is really important. We\u2019ve continued to grow to meet the demands of customers. We never expected this from our original plan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
