What are the days that a Big O Tires tenant is not required to remain open for business?

The 2025 Big O Tires Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state the specific days or holidays a franchisee is not required to remain open for business. However, the document does state that the "Tenant shall not during the term of this Lease, vacate nor abandon the Leased Premises or cease to conduct its business operations as required by this Lease" and "Tenant shall operate its business from the Leased Premises continuously as provided in Subsection 5.2 of this Lease."

Because the FDD does not specify days of closure, prospective franchisees should inquire directly with Big O Tires about the standard operating hours and any mandatory closures (e.g., for holidays). Understanding these requirements is essential for planning staffing, managing inventory, and forecasting revenue.

It is common practice in the franchise industry for franchisors to set minimum operating hour standards, but these can vary widely by brand and sector. Some franchises require operation seven days a week, while others allow for closures on major holidays or specific days. Clarification from Big O Tires will provide a clearer picture of the expected time commitment and work-life balance for franchisees.
