Assistant Store Manager

About the Team

Founded in 1960 by Bruce T. Halle in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Discount Tire began with a single store and a promise to treat people right. Today, it stands as the nation's largest independent tire and wheel retailer, operating over 1,200 stores across 40 states with more than 31,000 employees. We are a people-first, safety-first company dedicated to changing more than just tires—we make dreams come true.

Our culture is built on a promote-from-within philosophy where every store leader starts in the bays and earns their keys. We partner with major professional sports leagues and teams, fueling fans and athletes through local and national connections. We are proud to be recognized as a Glassdoor Best Places to Work 2026 and named one of Forbes' America's Best Large Employers for 2026.

About the Role

As an Assistant Store Manager, you will lead and mentor a team while keeping our customers safe. You set the pace for the store and the tone for the team. Your day begins with a huddle to assign bays and ensure a steady workflow, ensuring customers receive safe and timely service. You will be on the floor with your team, coaching and stepping in where needed, rather than staying behind a desk.

This role is for those who thrive in a "Sports Energy" environment. You will talk with customers to explain options clearly, helping them get back on the road confidently. We believe in hands-on leadership; you will learn by doing, growing through on-the-job training and development. Whether you are a former athlete, a military team member, or a hands-on leader, you will find a home here where we win together.

Hiring Process

We are committed to a promote-from-within culture, but we also welcome external talent ready to start their journey. The interview process focuses on finding individuals with a team mindset, servant leader energy, and the stamina to work alongside the team. We look for candidates who are calm under pressure, possess a positive can-do attitude, and demonstrate integrity.
