Stone Tyres in St Helens has submitted plans to St Helens Council regarding the expansion of his growing tyre retail business. Despite the adversity of the last 12 months, Stone Tyres has continued to grow – especially the firm’s Gorilla Tyres mobile tyre-fitting sister business. However, the latest expansion plans refer to bricks and mortar business and specifically to the construction of an MOT centre next to the Stone Tyres premises.
Speaking to Tyres & Accessories, Stone Tyres managing director John Stone confirmed that the new premises “will be used as an MOT centre offering Class 7 and Class 4 MOT services”. As a result, Stone says the additional MOT business will create eight jobs.
Stone Tyres should hear back from St Helen’s council during the next couple of weeks, with the council having set a determination deadline of 6 July. Construction and outfitting is expected to take around 16 weeks from the point of approval, meaning the new centre should be ready to serve customers in the last quarter of 2021.
