Sun Auto Tire & Service recently announced the acquisition of seven Vannoy’s Tires locations in the greater Pensacola, Florida region.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded in 1985 by brothers Gordon and Charley Vannoy, Vannoy has been a trusted name for tire and automotive repair serving the Pensacola area for over four decades.
Its addition to the Sun Auto Network marks the latest step in strengthening Sun’s Gulf Coast presence, and adding strategic infill to existing Jacksonville and Gulf Coast markets recently bolstered by new stores in Alabama and Mississippi, said a statement by Sun.
