About the Opportunity

Bridgestone has retained the title of Australia's Most Trusted Tyre Brand every year since 2014. Being associated with the industry's strongest and most trusted brand through this proven and highly successful Franchise model gives you an immediate head start. A core component of the success of Bridgestone Select is the ability to offer consumers a one-stop shop for all their tyre and automotive service needs. This allows our Franchisees to build a loyal customer following with regular engagement.
Owning a franchise should be about running a business for yourself, but not by yourself. The Bridgestone philosophy is one of total support for our franchisees. Whether you are purchasing an existing franchise or starting with a new site, we are with you. It is our ongoing commitment. Our franchise fee of 3.5% is among the lowest in the tyre industry, and unlike many other franchise models, we do not charge a separate marketing levy.
We are now seeking expressions of interest from prospective franchisees interested in joining the Bridgestone Select family. Couples are strongly encouraged to consider this opportunity to join the proven and highly successful Bridgestone Select network with a full 10-year Franchise term included.
