(KNOX) – Les Schwab Tires opened its first Grand Forks store just last year, and it has been committed to investing in its communities from the very start.
One of the ways it has done that is with “Les Schwab Tires for Purpose,” which helped 13 nonprofits, including Sioux Falls Thrive, in the Upper Midwest with free, brand-new tires in 2024.
Les Schwab Tires is expanding this program to assist community organizations everywhere it operates. Over the course of 2025, Les Schwab Tires plans to donate new sets of tires to 16 more nonprofits in the Upper Midwest, alongside the opening of 16 new stores in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. The goal of the overall program is to support nearly 400 organizations across 14 states.
The first 2025 “Les Schwab Tires for Purpose” partners will be identified in March, with installations happening continuously across the West and Upper Midwest into the fall.
