SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS

regal tire

THE REGAL TIRE COMPANY was established in 1960 by Robert McHugh. Originally, it was a gas station and tire center. In 1984, after a year and a half of hard work and renovation, Regal Tire started business at 23600 Van Dyke and began operating as a full service automotive and tire station. Although Robert McHugh retired in 1990, the year 2010 marked Regal Tire’s 50th year in business. After reading an article in the Macomb Daily, daughters Susan and Cynthia jumped at the chance to take part in V8 Facade Renovation Program. Thanks to the help of the V8 Collaborative and the City of Warren, Regal Tire has taken on a new look. The renovations include new paint, roof, gutters, doors, sign, and a soon-to-be re-paved parking lot.

“Regal Tire Company would like to thank Rob at NCI and all the members of the V8 project and the City of Warren for making these renovations possible. We have noticed other companies sprucing up their exteriors. We believe in strength in numbers, and that together we can make a difference. Regal Tire looks forward to providing another fifty years of service to the community.”
