It’s not the brick-and-mortar. It’s the people inside (who are) taking care of the customers.
Whether it be South Bend, Fort Wayne or Indianapolis, we’ve been able to grow those markets very well and signi cantly.
And we want to continue to grow in contiguous markets, so Chicagoland was a natural t, seeing as we’re in southwest Michigan, as well as northwest Indiana.
MTD: What’s the secret to moving into a new market and nding the right people right o the bat? What has worked for Belle in the past?
Barnes: There’s really no one thing or one secret thing. It’s really just us being true to ourselves — knowing who we are and the kind of people we want and

McDonnell: e most unsettled issue is the trade war impact in the OTR business. Depending on whether anything changes or not, it could have a signi cant impact on the choices (made by) OTR tire manufacturers. Rasey: I think that it’s probably going to be a combination of several things. e rate of change and absorption of technology at dealerships will continue to be a key focus area for most. at, coupled with employee turnover and the recruitment and training of sales/service personnel to replace retiring team members, is another on-going challenge. Both of those challenges – along with continuing to nd ways to pro tably differentiate their sales, service and solution o erings from competition – will dominate their day-to-day activities. “Any one of these challenges, by itself, takes serious management focus,” notes Rasey. “But when combined, it will require having a solid game plan and quality managers to keep their focus on what matters the most” as the market evolves. ■

ers are only going to treat our external customers as well as we treat them.
MTD: You once said, ‘Retail is detail’ and it seems that certainly applies here. Barnes: ‘Retail is detail’ is probably my favorite line because it truly is. Whether you are in the tire business or you’re selling computers or TVs, any competitor can probably get 90% of the way there — or even 95% — but that last 5% or 10%... that’s what really separates the best operators or world-class operators. It’s attention to detail.
Everything we do needs to be important because our consumers are judging us every day. We have to earn their business every time they walk in.
MTD: Belle also has an extremely robust wholesale-distribution business. (Editor’s note: e company operates a distribution center near Cleveland, Ohio.) What has your wholesale business been like this year? What are you hearing from your wholesale customers?
— DON BARNES III, PRESIDENT, BELLE TIRE DISTRIBUTORS INC.
Barnes: Our wholesale customers and our wholesale business have really ebbed and owed with the market. As the market was down a year ago with COVID-19, so was our wholesale business, but as demand has picked up — just as Belle Tire has — so has our wholesale business. Really our concentration right now has been clearly about building more retail locations and recruiting, hiring and training people who will represent our brand well.
MTD: Are you planning to enter any new retail markets during the rest of the year or into next year?
Barnes: e market that we’re really focused on right now is Chicagoland. We’re always looking at di erent areas in Michigan and Indiana to help augment or supplement the stores we have. But right now, the market that we’re most focused on in our growth is Chicago.
MTD: What’s your take on the general state of the retail tire market as we enter the second half of the year?
DB: I’m very bullish on our industry over the next six to seven months. Demand has been very strong. ere have been challenges from the supply side.
I think our manufacturers are working on things to get supply gured out. ey want to participate as much as we do in this big push in demand, so I’m very bullish that demand will continue to be strong.
COVID-19 pretty much seems done and over with. Obviously, more people are getting vaccinated and across di erent states, di erent restrictions are coming o , so there is greater certainty in the future and that’s really exciting. ■
