This May, we were honoured to be named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies by Deloitte Canada — a recognition we’ve proudly received for 31 consecutive years. This ongoing achievement reflects our commitment to leadership, innovation, and sustainable growth across our organization.

“The ongoing recognition as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies is a testament to our strong legacy,” says Jason Herle, CEO of Fountain Tire. “Our entrepreneurial spirit and resiliency are underpinned by Fountain Tire’s commitments to partnership, innovation and exceptional customer service — values that have stood the test of time and continue to guide us into the future.”

Canada’s Best Managed Companies is the country’s premier business awards program, celebrating excellence among Canadian-headquartered companies with revenues of $50 million or more. Each year, hundreds of organizations undergo a rigorous and independent evaluation based on four key pillars: strategy; culture and commitment; capabilities and innovation; and governance and financials.

Our selection for the 2025 designation was driven by several key initiatives, including the continued expansion of our retail network, mine service operations, and distribution footprint. We also made meaningful strides in strengthening customer relationships and corporate culture, while introducing new digital tools to support marketing, shop management, business development, and human resources.

A cornerstone of our success remains our unique 50/50 partnership model, which allows local leaders to co-own their stores and make decisions that are best for their customers, associates, and communities. This model continues to set us apart and is a vital part of our ongoing recognition.

“This award is particularly meaningful as it aligns with Fountain Tire’s vision to be the most sought-after place to shop, work and partner in Canada’s tire and automotive services industry,” adds Herle. “Along with business performance, it recognizes a positive impact on our people — from customers to our workforce and on the communities in which we operate.”

As a proud Platinum Club Member, we have maintained Best Managed status since the inception of the program, earning this distinction for seven or more consecutive years.
