Big O Tires Marks 60 Years of Caring for Community With Tree Giveaway

Big O Tires Marks 60 Years of Caring for Community With Tree Giveaway

Owners of the five Northern Colorado Big O Tires franchises are outdoor enthusiasts. So, it only makes sense they’d do their part to support our environment.

That spirit of stewardship already comes through at Big O with the recycling of oil and tires. Now it includes giving away trees in time for spring planting.

Big O locations in Fort Collins, Greeley, and Loveland will celebrate their 60th year in business by handing out 300 trees (60 trees per location) between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Friday, April 28, 2023.

Customers are invited to stop by and pick up a red maple tree, which grows best with regular deep watering. Get your free trees in Fort Collins at 4245 S. Mason St., 1506 N. College Ave., and 2007 S. Timberline Road; in Greeley at 3325 23rd Ave.; and in Loveland at 2840 N. Lincoln Ave.

To extend their impact even further, Big O purchased the seedlings from Arbor Day Foundation, which focuses on reforestation efforts across the globe, creating a greener, healthier planet for us all.
