We started as a small shop in Prineville, Oregon, back in 1952. No matter how much we've grown, we've kept our small-town values: Our customers' happiness and satisfaction have always been our top priority. Our founder, Les Schwab, believed in supporting the communities where his employees live and work. Les Schwab is proud to invest time and resources in events and organizations that promote responsibility, hard work and serving the community – values our company believes in.
