Les Schwab has opened a new store in Delta, further expanding the network of independent tire dealers.

The Les Schwab Tire Center is located at 678 Stafford Lane and is open from 8 am. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

The new location includes seven interior bays to serve not only passenger cars and trucks, but also large trucks and commercial fleet vehicles. The store employs 14 people.

Kelcey Derrick relocated to Delta to serve as store manager. He brings to the position more than 17 years experience with Les Schwab.

“Our customers count on us to look them in the eye, shake their hands and do what we say we’ll do,” Derrick said. “We know we can make a positive difference for the people of Delta. And our commitment to service extends beyond customers. We’re also dedicated to supporting our employees and communities, and we look forward to doing that here in Delta.”

In addition to tires, Les Schwab offers batteries, custom wheels and shocks as well as alignment, brake and oil change services designed to make sure vehicles operate properly and safely.

A total of more than 520 Les Schwab Tire Centers are in operation in Colorado as well as Alaska, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and Utah. The centers employ a total of more than 8,000 people.

Les Schwab was recognized in the 2024 Forbes Best Customer Service list as first for auto repair and maintenance and sixth overall.

The company established a profit-share program in 1954 and today shares about half of profits with employees through health benefits, bonuses and retirement programs.
