Belle Tire Opens Store In Aurora As Part Of Local Expansion

AURORA, IL — As Belle Tire expands its presence throughout the Chicagoland area, the business that sells tires and provides car service opened a location in Aurora.

The Aurora location, at 750 Route 59, is Belle Tire's fifth Chicagoland store and officially opened March 18. It joins locations in Naperville, Villa Park, Joliet and Shorewood, which opened in the fall of 2021.

The company will also open stores in St. Charles and Mokena in March, officials said.

"After officially entering Illinois this past year, we are proud to continue our expansion and serve new communities," Don Barnes III, president of Belle Tire, said in a statement. "As we celebrate our 100th anniversary this year, expanding our presence in Chicagoland allows us to continue to grow our long-standing mission, giving our neighbors peace of mind and the ability to trust we will get them back on the road quickly and affordably."

Company representatives said the new Aurora location is part of an "aggressive Illinois expansion" that will continue through the year, with locations expected to open in neighboring towns including West Chicago, Montgomery and Romeoville.

The plan, officials said, is to open 60 stores in Illinois within the next three years. The Aurora spot is just one of them. As a grand-opening offer, Belle Tire is advertising in-store deals that include up to $180 off sets of tires, which will last for the first 60 days the store is open.

In Aurora, Belle Tire will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
