Deloitte Canada named Fountain Tire one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies this May, marking the 31st consecutive year the company has been recognized for its leadership, innovation and growth. 

“The ongoing recognition as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies is a testament to our strong legacy,” says Jason Herle, CEO of Fountain Tire. “Our entrepreneurial spirit and resiliency are underpinned by Fountain Tire’s commitments to partnership, innovation and exceptional customer service — values that have stood the test of time and continue to guide us into the future.”

Canada’s Best Managed Companies is the country’s leading business awards program, recognizing excellence in Canadian headquartered companies with revenues of $50 million or greater. Hundreds of businesses compete for the annual designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates four main pillars: strategy; culture and commitment; capabilities and innovation; and governance and financials.

Factors that contributed to Fountain Tire’s 2025 award include expansion of its retail business, mine service and distribution network; enhancing customer relations and corporate culture; and creating novel digital tools to advance marketing, shop management, business development and human resources.

 Fountain Tire’s unique business model is also a consistent factor in the annual award designation. Local leaders split ownership of their store 50/50 with the company and maintain autonomy to make decisions that benefit their customers, associates and communities.

 “This award is particularly meaningful as it aligns with Fountain Tire’s vision to be the most sought-after place to shop, work and partner in Canada’s tire and automotive services industry,” adds Herle. “Along with business performance, it recognizes a positive impact on our people —from customers to our workforce and on the communities in which we operate.”

 In addition to being named among Canada’s Best Managed Companies each year since the program’s inception, Fountain Tire maintains Platinum Club Member status in recognition of seven or more consecutive years of Best Managed status.
