OK Tire Stores Inc. and Groupe Touchette Inc. have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at improving distribution capabilities, customer service and product availability across the country.
Effective June 9, Groupe Touchette will become the official distributor for OK Tire, which operates more than 325 independently owned and operated retail locations nationwide. Both companies will continue to operate independently under the new agreement.
“As two homegrown Canadian companies committed to serving local communities, this partnership reflects our shared dedication to quality, reliability and innovation,” said Shayne Casey, chairman of the board and interim CEO and president of OK Tire Stores Inc. “We are proud to partner with Groupe Touchette—a brand that understands this is about more than just business. It’s about delivering the level of service Canadians deserve, no matter where they are.”
The partnership will allow both companies to leverage each other’s strengths, including Groupe Touchette’s national network of more than 40 distribution centres and OK Tire’s coast-to-coast retail footprint.
“We see this partnership as a natural evolution in our mission to deliver exceptional value to customers across Canada,” said Paul Hyshka, associate vice-president sales, independent and commercial at Groupe Touchette. “By combining our distribution expertise with OK Tire’s retail strength, we’re reinforcing what matters most—reliable access to quality products, timely service, and strong support for local businesses.”
