NORWICH – A familiar downtown face recently received a makeover and to celebrate the completion of renovations, the community is invited to stop in for its Grand Re-Opening Celebration.

A prominent fixture in the Norwich community since 1981, 47 Syracuse based Cole Muffler locations were recently acquired by Mavis Tire of Mount Kisco, NY which now boasts 155 locations throughout New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

While the business transaction took place in mid 2009, the Mavis company has been methodical in updating all existing locations and slowly integrating this market brand to consumers.

“Mavis Discount focuses primarily on tire service, but the company has carried over the exhaust, suspension and brake component from the Cole Muffler locations that they purchased,” said Tim Donnelly, Service Manager at the North Broad Street location.
