Eden Tyres & Servicing has completed the construction of its 21st retail depot in Gainsborough ahead of schedule, which means the new branch opened on 18 February. Located next to Morrisons supermarket on Heapham Road South, company representatives are clearly expecting decent footfall from such a prime retail location.
Eden Tyres & Servicing’s Oakham branch is set to open during August. Located on Tungsten Park’s Panniers Way, this will be company’s 20th retail site and its first venture into Rutland.
Eden Tyres & Servicing has started work on its 20th tyre centre. According to the company, the latest addition is “on target to be opening in a few months’ time”. Eden representatives haven’t revealed where branch number 20 will be located, but they have confirmed that it will be one of at least two branches to open in 2022.

As can be seen in the top 10 table published yesterday, Halfords Autocentres remains in second place nationally in our 2021 ranking of the UK’s largest retail operations by branch count. Continuing our three-article series on this subject, today’s instalment focuses on places 11 to 20 and finds that the medium to large sized positions are increasingly being taken by autocentre style businesses that make as much money from parts and repairs as they do from tyres (and more than traditional fast fits).
Growing tyre retail chain Eden Tyres & Servicing currently has 18 branches in its network of tyre retail businesses. However, at the end of March company representatives revealed that Eden Tyres will open its 19th branch later in 2021.
