THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- TIREMAX of North America, known for its name brand tires installed in 30 minutes or less, announced that they have awarded five new franchisees to its franchise network of independently owned and operated professional TIREMAX upscale stores.

Five new franchises to join the TIREMAX network:

Katy, TX
Spring, TX
Three in Northwest Houston/U.S. 290, TX

"We take great pride in growing our brand the right way, and we are passionate about providing the best customer service," said Christopher T. Wilkerson, president of The TIREMAX Corporation. "Additionally, we are committed to meeting our objectives to expand geographically and markets are selling fast. If we stay on our current track, we'll awarded 10 additional franchisees in the southern U.S. by the end of the year."

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the automotive franchise industry, excluding dealers, generates around $25 billion in sales annually and employs over 175,000 people in 35,600 franchise establishments.
