Buy a Monro Muffler Brake Franchise

Monro, Inc. (formerly Monro Muffler Brake), founded in 1957 by Charles J. August as a Midas Muffler franchise in Rochester, New York, evolved into a leading automotive service chain after breaking from Midas in 1966 to expand beyond mufflers into brakes and full undercar repairs. Now publicly traded (NASDAQ: MNRO) with over 1,200 locations across 28 states, primarily company-owned, it specializes in tires, brakes, exhaust, alignments, and maintenance for all vehicles, emphasizing convenience via same-day service and national warranties. Headquartered in Rochester, Monro drives growth through acquisitions like Speedy Muffler King (1998) and others, serving the $400B+ U.S. auto aftermarket with a focus on aging fleets and DIY shifts.
