Pep Boys filling Town’s former Big O Tire building

One more empty building is being filled in Farragut.

The former Big O Tire store, located next door to U-Haul along Kingston Pike, is transitioning to a Pep Boys.

Farragut Mayor Ron Williams recently confirmed the news after conferring with assistant Town Community Development director Bart Hose.

“Good news on another empty building,” Williams stated in an e-mail. “Pep Boys will be an excellent sales tax provider.”

Renovations began two weeks ago on the building, which has been vacant for the last two years when Big O Tires built a larger store just east of its previous location.
