Waukegan Tire Celebrates One-Year Anniversary of Kenosha Store

Park City, IL - Waukegan Tire is proud to celebrate the one-year anniversary opening of its Kenosha, Wisconsin location - a major milestone that reflects the company's continued commitment to top-tier state of the art service, community engagement, and vehicle safety.

Waukegan Tire opened its fourth location in Kenosha in 2024, expanding its trusted service from Illinois into southeastern Wisconsin. The location quickly earned a loyal customer base for its knowledgeable staff, expert automotive service, [https://www.waukegantire.com/services-home] custom wheels and wide selection of premium brand name tires [https://www.waukegantire.com/shop-for-tires-wheels] including Michelin, BFGoodrich, Hankook, Continental, General, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Firestone, Pirelli, Nokian, Delinte and Vogue Tyre.

"Our Kenosha store has been a fantastic addition to the Waukegan Tire family," said Vice President and son Steve Nerheim. "We're thrilled with the support from the community and are honored to serve Kenosha's families and businesses with the same excellence and integrity that has defined our company for over five decades."

Founded in 1968, Waukegan Tire has built a reputation as a trusted source for tires, custom wheels and vehicle service, earning multiple national industry awards for customer satisfaction and safety advocacy. The company's success is rooted in the vision and leadership of founder Jerry Nerheim, who continues to work every day, will celebrate his 90th birthday this month. Jerry's legacy continues to inspire a culture of service, innovation, and community involvement across all four locations in Waukegan, Park City, Grayslake, and now Kenosha.

To mark this unique expansion, as well as honoring Jerry Nerheim for his commitment to the tire industry and loyal customers from across the region, Waukegan Tire will host a celebration event at their flagship Park City location at 3444 West Washington Street on Wednesday, May 21, between noon and 2:00pm. This tribute will feature special promotions, refreshments, giveaways, and live remote broadcasting by radio personality Drew Walker of Free Country Chicago, 102.3 FM.

"We invite the community to celebrate with us," added Steve. "This is not only an opportunity to promote the success of our Kenosha location, but also recognize my father, who built Waukegan Tire on honesty, hard work, and a passion for serving people while showing our appreciation to all the customers who have placed trust in our ability to serve their families for over half a century."
