Merlin Shops Add Ill. Franchisee

Tire Business:

Automotive service franchise chain Merlin 200,000 Mile Shops said Thomas Corso in Loves Park is its newest franchisee.

Mr. Corso has owned two previous Merlin franchises in Illinois, in Schaumburg and Cary, that he sold after growing both stores. His success at Cary earned him a “Fast Start Award” for first year sales records and a “We Care” award for excellence in customer service from Merlin.

Merlin 200,000 Miles Shops provide repair and maintenance services, tires and additional services a car needs during the first 200,000 miles, except for engine, transmission, and collision repair.
