Monro Muffler Brake was founded in 1957, originally as a franchise of Midas Muffler, by Charles August. Within 10 years, August decided that he wanted his shops to do more than just muffler work. Along with his two brothers, August began a new shop he called Monro Muffler.
Today, the company has more than 1,200 locations across the US, 6,150 full-time employees, and $894 million in revenue in 2015. The company went public on the NASDAQ in 1991 under the ticker symbol: MNRO. In the past 16 years, Monro has acquired more than 30 automotive, tire, and muffler shops including Mr. Tire Auto Service Centers, Tread Quarters Discount Tire Auto Service Centers, Autotire Car Care Centers, Ken Towery’s Tire & AutoCare, The Tire Choice & Total Car Care, and Tire Barn Warehouse.
Monro Muffler Brake continues to employ a slow, but steady growth and acquisition program that has worked out well under current CEO John Van Heel.
In 2014, Forbes marked the company as #72 on their list of the Best Small Companies in America to Work For. Headquarters are located in Rochester, New York.
