During the 21st century, Mavis Tire has made several acquisitions. [1] [3] In 2015, Mavis acquired Somerset Tire Service, doubling the size of the company. [4] Mavis Discount Tire merged with Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers in 2018, resulting in a joint 830 locations across 24 states. [5]

In 2021, Mavis Tire was acquired by an investor group led by BayPine LP for more than $6 billion, bringing Mavis Discount Tire and Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers under the Mavis Tire brand. [6]

Mavis Tire acquired Jack Williams Tire & Auto Centers in 2022. [3] The deal increased Mavis' retail store total to nearly 1,500 nationwide, including 109 in Pennsylvania. [7]
