This week, Les Schwab Tire Centers commemorates the relocation of its new Bellevue-Overlake area store at 2355 Bel-Red Road in Redmond. The public is invited to the two-day event starting on Friday.
The celebration will feature giveaways, food, savings and fun while supporting area high schools:
OneRedmond will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1 p.m. Saturday with Redmond City Council member Hank Myers, OneRedmond CEO Bart Phillips and the Les Schwab management team.
Throughout the festivities, guests can spin a prize wheel to win movie tickets and T-shirts, while supplies last.
Stop by for a complimentary lunch as Les Schwab employees will grill hot dogs and hamburgers from noon to 3 p.m. on Friday, and Interlake High students will be grilling from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.
Radio show KQMV MOViN 92.5FM with Brooke and Jubal will broadcast from Les Schwab from 12:30-2:30 p.m. on Friday. Attendees can test their luck in the MOViN 92.5 Cash Tube to see how much money they can grab.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, KMPS 94.1FM will broadcast live from Les Schwab. While folks enjoy the festivities, they can take advantage of Les Schwab’s Free Pre-Trip Safety Check, which includes checking tire pressure and tread depth, visual alignment, brakes, shocks and battery.
“We’ll be providing a fun atmosphere and giveaways that families can enjoy together,” said Jeff Robidou, Les Schwab’s Bellevue-Overlake store manager. “We hope residents will come out to meet us and also support students as they raise money for their activities.”
The new Les Schwab Tire Center is located at the corner of Northeast 24th Street and Bel-Red Road, across the street from Trader Joe’s and Walgreens. It replaces the former Les Schwab store next to Fred Meyer on 148th Avenue Northeast. As part of the two-day event, customers will receive additional savings on Les Schwab tires.
“This two-day event gives our Les Schwab team an opportunity to meet our neighbors, and we’re looking forward to telling them about the Les Schwab story, which includes selling only the highest quality products backed up by our world-class service and warranties. You won’t find a better value,” said Robidou. “The new store will offer the complete Les Schwab experience. Employees greet customers as they drive onto the parking lot, showrooms offer a wide selection of tires to meet customer safety and driving requirements, and free warranties are provided for tires, brakes, alignments, batteries, shocks and struts.”
