On the heels of purchasing its sole remaining franchise, Belle Tire Distributors has five new dealerships in the works in Michigan and Indiana as part of a larger plan to expand its dealership network.
In Michigan, the Allen Park-based tire retailer is constructing a new location in Northville in the Northridge Grove Shopping Center at Eight Mile and Haggerty roads that’s expected to open in August.

It also has a store under construction in Michigan City, Ind., two more in Fort Wayne, Ind., and plans to break ground on a third there next summer, said Belle Tire President Don Barnes III.
He declined to say what the company, which has about $350 million in annual gross revenue, is investing to expand its current network of 94 stores across Michigan, northern Ohio and Indiana.
