Les Schwab Tire Centers
 PROFILE
If you're seeking tires, Les Schwab Tire Centers aims to help. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the owner wrote the bible of tire retailing: "Pride in Performance -- Keep It Going." Les Schwab Tire Centers prides itself on continued customer service; it sells tires and batteries and does alignment, brake, and shock work at more than 300 stores in Alaska, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. With a story that rivals Moses', founder and chairman Les Schwab was reared in a logging camp and went to school in a converted boxcar. In 1952 he bought a tire shop that eventually became Les Schwab Tire Centers. The firm, owned by Schwab and his family, plans to open about 15 to 20 new stores a year.
