With more than 875 stores in 28 states, we have grown to become the world's largest independent tire and wheel retailer today. The company was founded in 1960 when founder Bruce T. Halle rented a building on Stadium Boulevard in Ann Arbor, MI. Although the inventory consisted of only six tires (four of which were retreads) and the showroom was not quite the showroom we see today, faith, vision and hard work were then, and still remain, the foundation on which this company has grown and prospered.

As with any new start up, Bruce Halle's venture faced numerous challenges - perhaps one of the biggest being that he didn't own an air compressor. Having only six tires and a portable air tank, Halle would race back and forth to a nearby gas station, filling the tires with air as he sold them. Out of necessity, he became a master at inventory turn. In addition to being the only salesman, Bruce Halle was the tire technician, accountant, store computer, sign painter and cleaning crew. Day by day, tire by tire, this one-man operation slowly grew into what is now one of the most recognized names in the industry.

Rustic Furniture Depot began in Ocotber of 2002 with first year sales of about $1.2 million. We purchased everything from local wholesalers and tried to provide the largest variety of rustic furniture in the DFW metroplex. As we grew, we were able to buy directly from the manufacturers and were able to pass those savings onto the customer. This resulted in several years of in which the growth rates were 40-60% per year. In 2010, we added a new line of furniture called Grand Hacienda Furniture, which is a richer, more heavy and sophisticated line of rustic furniture. In April of 2012 we added the Economy Line which is a less expensive line of solid wood furniture. We continue to grow and expand and invite you to come by and see us soon!
