Bridgestone Retail Operations

AVON, CT — A new business operation will officially open in Avon Friday, an establishment helping folks safely navigate where the rubber meets the road.

Bridgestone Retail Operations (BSRO), a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas Inc., will open the doors of its newest Firestone Complete Auto Care location in Avon on Friday, May 17, with a celebratory event welcoming guests from the community.

It will take place at 11 a.m. with remarks, a ribbon-cutting, and a check presentation to a local charity at the new Firestone Complete Auto Care, 225 W. Main St., Avon.

In addition to remarks from company leaders and an official ribbon-cutting, the ceremony will include a donation presentation to the Boys and Girls Club of Bristol as part of the Bridgestone Driving Great Futures initiative, which has raised more than $20 million to help kids and teens gain access to Boys & Girls Clubs resources across the U.S. since 2015.

The new store is the first in the Avon area and will feature a newly designed in-store experience to better serve customers, including digital displays to provide real-time tire and automotive service updates and the latest technologies and equipment for quicker repairs.
