A New Flynn’s at Eastwood

Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service Planning New, Larger Customer Service Facility

A trusted name in automotive services is about to establish a more prominent presence at the Eastwood Mall Complex in Niles, Ohio.  Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service will soon begin building a 21,000 square foot service facility on a 1.25 acre site fronting on State Route 46, immediately east of the Fairfield Inn. Currently, Flynn’s operates in a smaller location adjacent to Advance Auto Parts on U.S. Route 422.  By relocating, Flynn’s will be able to provide a larger, more modern facility that meets the needs of the local marketplace.  It will incorporate the latest and best design features of Flynn’s newest buildings.  The two-story structure will encompass 10,500 square foot ground floor that will contain a sales area, office space and six double-depth vehicle service bays.  The upstairs will provide tire storage area.  Construction of the new facility will begin in the fall, with a projected opening in mid-2023.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of the Eastwood Mall Complex!” said the company’s President, Joe Flynn, “Our new location on Route 46 will be nearly three times larger than our current store, which will give customers more same-day tire options and faster service overall.”

Flynn’s Tire & Auto was founded in 1964 and is owned and operated by the third generation of the Flynn family.  Headquartered in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, Flynn’s has grown to become a regional retail and wholesale tire distributor with 33 locations in Pennsylvania and Ohio.   The company also operates as a wholesale distributor in New York, West Virginia and Maryland.

Flynn’s Tire & Auto offers a huge variety of products, including brands such as Goodyear, Dunlop, Kelly, Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin, BFGoodrich, Hankook, Yokohama, and more. The company’s four Commercial Tire locations service commercial and farm/tractor suppliers and fleets. Additionally, Flynn's Tire has a tire retread division to supply truck tires to the motor freight carrier industry.

“We are very excited that Flynn’s Tire & Auto is joining us at a new location on the Eastwood Complex” said Anthony Cafaro, Sr. “They will round out our merchandise mix nicely and be a real asset to the complex.”

The Eastwood Mall Complex is located at 5555 Youngstown-Warren Road, in Niles, Ohio.  It is one of America’s largest shopping centers, with more than 200 department stores, specialty shops, restaurants, hotels and entertainment options.  The Eastwood Mall Complex is owned and managed in association with Cafaro-affiliated companies, based in Niles, Ohio.
