There was reason to celebrate this month at Firestone Complete Auto Care’s first store grand opening of 2018 in Cross Roads, Texas. Bridgestone Retail Operations opened the newest Firestone Complete Auto Care retail tire and automotive service location in the Dallas suburb on March 2nd, joining more than 235 Firestone Complete Auto Care stores across the Lone Star State.
Cross Roads mayor Steve Smith attended the grand opening and spoke during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. He was joined by several local dignitaries, including the town councilman, county commissioner, and representatives from the Governor’s office and Aubrey Chamber of Commerce.
After the ribbon cutting, families enjoyed a variety of activities—most notably, watching the iconic monster truck Bigfoot’s two car crush performances! Dallas Cowboys fans were excited to meet Tony Casillas, a former player, who celebrated the event, signed autographs, and took pictures with attendees.
