On this day in 1955, Reno Vulcanizing opened our N. Virginia Street location, a move many thought was “too far out of town” to succeed.
Turns out, they were wrong. 😏
What was once the edge of Reno is now right in the heart of it ❤️ More than 5,000 people attended the grand opening, nearly 15% of the city’s population at the time, with Goodyear executives flying in for the occasion.
Through wartime tire shortages, postwar expansion, and the rise of America’s car culture, Reno Vulcanizing has adapted, grown, and never lost sight of what matters most: taking care of our community. Your support over the last 104 years has made that possible.
Today, we celebrate a legacy built on hard work, trust, and generations of Northern Nevada drivers since 1922.
