Bridgestone India Pvt Ltd, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Japan's Bridgestone Corporation, celebrated the launch of its 500th family channel stores in India.

The stores also offer Bridgestone’s wide product range, displays and designs (both tyres and alloy wheels). As far as tyre-related services are concerned, wheel alignment, wheel balancing, tyre changing are offered at the Bridgestone family stores. Bridgestone's motto - safety for customers and workers, reliability of products, transparency in operations and promote eco-friendly products and environment both in the store and outside - is what the family stores aim to achieve.

Speaking on the occasion, Vaibhav Saraf, Sr General Manager, Sales and Marketing, PSR, said, "Launching our 500th store is an immensely proud moment for us since we have worked hard to build a strong platform to connect with our customers and provide our full spectrum of tyre services valuable to a wider audience.
