Six Midas Muffler shops in the Pioneer Valley closed Monday when the corporate headquarters canceled the rights held by a local franchisee.
Robert Troyer, a spokesman at Midas corporate headquarters in Itasca, Ill., would not go into detail as to why franchise holder Carden Enterprises Inc. of Ludlow is no longer able to operate Midas shops in Springfield, West Springfield, Westfield, Holyoke, Greenfield and Chicopee.
The Midas shop Carden Enterprises operates in Ludlow, however, was not affected and was open today, Troyer said.
Besides the shop in Ludlow, other Midas shops in the area that are still open are located in East Longmeadow, Hadley, Northampton and Enfield, Troyer said.
