Fountain Tire Named One of Canada’s Best Managed Companies
Fountain Tire has been named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 2025, earning this prestigious designation for the 31st consecutive year. Awarded by Deloitte Canada, the Best Managed Companies program recognizes private Canadian-owned businesses that demonstrate outstanding leadership, innovation, and sustained growth.
“This 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.”
What Canada’s Best Managed Companies Recognition Means
Canada’s Best Managed Companies is the country’s leading business awards program for Canadian-headquartered companies with revenues of $50 million or more. Each year, hundreds of organizations undergo a rigorous and independent evaluation based on four key pillars:
- Strategy
- Culture and commitment
- Capabilities and innovation
- Governance and financial performance
Fountain Tire’s continued recognition reflects consistent excellence across all four areas and a long-term commitment to doing business the right way.
Why Fountain Tire Earned the 2025 Designation
Key factors contributing to Fountain Tire’s 2025 Best Managed Companies recognition include:
- Expansion of retail operations, mine service, and distribution networks
- Continued investment in customer relationships and corporate culture
- Development of innovative digital tools supporting marketing, shop management, business development, and human resources
- Strong financial performance and governance practices
Together, these initiatives support sustainable growth while enhancing the experience for customers, associates, and partners across Canada.
A Unique Partnership Business Model
A defining element of Fountain Tire’s success is its unique partnership model. Each store is co-owned—50/50—by local leaders and Fountain Tire. This structure empowers store partners to make decisions that best serve their customers, employees, and communities, while benefiting from the strength, resources, and scale of a national organization.
This balance of local autonomy and national support continues to be a consistent factor in Fountain Tire’s Best Managed Companies recognition year after year.
A Vision for the Future
“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 one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies every year since the program began, Fountain Tire also holds Platinum Club Member status, awarded to organizations that achieve Best Managed recognition for seven or more consecutive years.
