History
Established in 1920.
Frisby the Vulcanizer Ltd. was the company's original name when it was established by George Frisby in 1920 at 88 Lyon Street. A new location on Sparks Street was opened in the late thirties where it stayed until 1967 when this facility was built from scratch. James Frisby joined the business after serving in WW11 and took over ownership of the company in the late sixties, giving it a new name, a new look with the bright yellow service trucks and the new Frisby Tire logo which has stood the test of time and is still in use today along with our five Ottawa locations.
Meet the Manager: Troy P.
Troy Pappin has worked at the Kanata store 1989, four years after it opened under the management of Dennis Frisby. Troy learned the tire and automotive business by doing the basics changing tires, balancing wheels, repairing tires etc. His recent promotion to Store Manager was certainly well deserved.
