Monro closing stores: Muffler, brake, and auto repair chain joins list of retailers shuttering locations in 2025
One of the most popular auto repair and tire shops in America said it will shutter 145 locations across the country by the end of the month. Monro Inc. (Nasdaq: MNRO) announced the move in its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results last week. Here's what you need to know about the Monro auto chain closures. What is Monro? Monro, sometimes called Monro Muffler Brake, is one of the largest auto repair shops and tire chains in the country. The company operates 1,260 stores across 32 states, according to its most recent financial filings and website. It also has 48 franchised locations. Monro says it generated approximately $1.2 billion in sales from those stores and works on about five million vehicles a year in the U.S. Founded in 1957, Monro became a publicly traded company in 1991. It is listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker 'MNRO.' In recent years, the company has struggled as consumers have cut back on discretionary auto-related spending in the wake of inflationary costs. As noted by CoStar News, those consumers have reduced their purchases of tires and auto services, which typically have higher margins, thus eating into Monro's profits. In March, Monro's board decided a change in leadership was necessary. That change saw Monro's then-CEO Michael Broderick depart the company, replaced by AlixPartners managing director Peter Fitzsimmons. Upon announcing the company's Q4 2025 results—the quarter that ended March 29, 2025—Fitzsimmons announced that Monro would be closing 145 underperforming stores. Monro's closing stores and closure dates identified In its earnings release, the company said it had 'conducted a comprehensive store portfolio review that identified 145 underperforming stores for closure.' It went on to note that all 145 stores would close by the end of Q1 of 2026, which is Monro's current quarter and which closes at the end of this month. However, while Monro says it has identified the closing stores, it has not released a list of which locations are closing. It has also not stated which of its store brands will be affected. Reached for comment by Fast Company, a Monro spokesperson said the retailer's priority at the moment is to ensure that employees impacted by the closures are properly supported. 'We have communicated this news directly with our impacted teammates and are deeply grateful to them for their dedication and commitment to the communities we serve,' the spokesperson said. 'We are focused on supporting our teams through this transition and growing our business by continuing to deliver a five-star customer experience to our guests around the country.' Monro doesn't operate all of its 1,260 stores under a 'Monro' moniker. It has more than a dozen brands: Monro Auto Service and Tire Centers Tire Barn Warehouse Tire Warehouse Ken Towery's Tire & Auto Care Allen Tire Company Monro Commercial Solutions Car-X Tire and Auto Mr. Tire Auto Service Centers Tire Choice Auto Service Centers Free Service Tire Company, Inc. Mountain View Tire & Auto Service Skip's Tire Lloyd's Tire Calabasas Car Care Bud's Tires Monro is also not the only large auto-related chain that is reducing its physical footprint. Late last year, Advanced Auto Parts said it would close 700 of its 5,000 stores. Monro's Q4 2025 results and stock price For its most recent quarter, Q4 of fiscal 2025, which ended on March 29, Monro reported $295 million in sales. That was down 4.9% from the $310.1 million in sales during the same quarter a year earlier. However, Monro said that 2025's Q4 had six fewer selling days than 2024's Q4, which contributed to the lower sales number. The company said it had a net loss for Q4 2025 of $21.3 million versus a net gain of $3.7 million for the quarter a year earlier. 'As I reflect on my first eight weeks, I'm pleased with our detailed assessment of the business,' Fitzsimmons said in a statement accompanying the results. 'We have identified four key areas of focus as opportunities for improvement.' Fitzsimmons said he believes the plan will 'drive enhanced profitability' while increasing operating income. Since announcing its Q4 2025 results and store closure plans on May 28, MNRO stock has surged more than 23%. However, the stock is down more than 37% year to date. Over the past 12 months, MNRO shares have fallen 34%.

The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars
Every year, motor vehicle crashes claim more than a million lives around the world, including more than 40,000 in the US, where per capita death rates are more than double peer countries like Canada, Japan and France. That toll is partly a reflection of the way automobiles are designed, since their weight, shape and safety technologies help determine whether a collision becomes a fender bender or a fatality. The sheer number of annual road fatalities worldwide — which has been relatively consistent for 25 years — has partially obscured a safety success story: In emerging markets like India, Latin America and Africa, vehicles sold today are notably less deadly than their predecessors. A growing number of countries now require features like airbags and impact-absorbing crumple zones on all new cars, and impartial crash tests allow global consumers to compare the safety of various models.

Ford Recalls 1.1 Million Vehicles Over Faulty Rearview Camera
Ford (F, Financials) is recalling 1,075,299 vehicles in the United States due to a software malfunction that may freeze the rearview camera display, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The issue could distort the driver's view while reversing and increase the risk of a crash. The affected models span the 2021 to 2025 production years and include a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles such as the Bronco, F-150, Mustang, Edge, Expedition, Transit, Mach-E, Escape, Ranger, as well as Lincoln's Navigator, Nautilus, and Corsair. Ford has received one report of a minor crash involving property damage but said no injuries have been reported. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with F. To address the issue, Ford will issue a free software update to affected vehicles, either through a dealership visit or via an over-the-air update. The automaker plans to send initial notification letters to vehicle owners beginning June 16, with a follow-up letter confirming when the remedy is available, expected between July and September. Ford has assigned recall number 25S49 to the case. Owners seeking further information can call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 or visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website at which has listed the recall as number 25V-315. This marks the latest in a series of safety-related recalls for the Detroit automaker. Earlier this year, Ford recalled approximately 274,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles due to improperly installed front brake lines, which could reduce braking performance. In a separate safety development, Ford is also recalling 29,501 F-150 Lightning battery electric trucks from the 2024 and 2025 model years due to a potentially detached control arm that may cause a loss of steering. In November 2024, NHTSA fined Ford $165 million for delays in recalling vehicles with known rearview camera defects and for failing to comply with federal disclosure requirements. Regulators said Ford's failure to provide full information violated the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act, adding regulatory pressure to the company's recent quality control efforts.
