Monro, Inc. (MNRO) operates a network of retail tire and automotive repair centers across the United States, catering primarily to passenger vehicles and light trucks. The company’s service portfolio includes tire replacement, brake repairs, exhaust systems, and routine maintenance such as wheel alignments and suspension work. It utilizes a multi-brand strategy, operating under regional banners including Mr. Tire, Tire Choice, and Car-X.
The automotive aftermarket sector is characterized by fragmented competition and steady demand driven by the increasing average age of vehicles on the road. Monro’s business model relies on a high-margin service mix to offset the lower margins typically associated with tire sales.

Headquartered in Fairport, New York, the company has maintained a presence in the undercar repair industry since its founding in 1957.
