With the burning passion of a thousand stars, this man embraced tires from birth. His first words were tires and discount.

Quite often seen working late nights to ensure everything in the store is up to snuff. Occasionally seen taking power naps on a pile of tires as the smell lulls him peacefully to sleep.

He moonlights in the evening fighting low tire pressure crime and inspecting tread for uneven wear to inform potential customers.

Colleen was a rare find indeed. Barrelling around the city streets on her motorcycle is lots of fun but it can be dangerous. On one outing she was riding alongside a vehicle and its tire unexpectedly came off and made its way towards her. It just so happened that the NBT Van was out that day and happened to be at the right place and at the right time.

Our van swooped in, opened its doors and thankfully captured the tire. It wasn’t until afterwards that our team members realized that they saved Colleen’s life. We really do just LOVE tires 😛

Colleen knew right away that the NBT team was where she wanted to be. The perfect mix of love of all things tires and serendipitous hero activity. She was at home.

Now as you know we don’t just hire the regulars so we asked this young woman to head out to attain some super powers as part of her prerequisite to join the team. To our surprise this was not necessary.

Colleen has many skills and hobbies that are so random but when put together create a perfect symphony. From the ability to duplicate herself at will to materializing chocolate chip cookies out of nowhere. From communicating with animals to making her arms stretch 10 feet long. FROM MIND CONTROL (We asked her to please not use this) to traveling to alternate realities it’s all pretty amazing stuff.

So next time you’re in need of tires, hungry for cookies, feeling like a good dog translated conversation or just need something taken off the top shelf while simultaneously chatting about your tire options, Colleen is here for you. She will duplicate herself to get the job done and if she can’t find a tire for you in this reality there’s always others.

Stylish….Yesirreee he is on it!
Charm…you betcha!
Personality…oh you’ll find out with one encounter…short answer…YES
Knowledge…check check

It’s not always easy to find the right people despite there being so many amazing people in Alberta. Chris was a ringer that we headhunted to bring aboard….literally. We were at a boxing match and when the bell rang we grabbed him by the head and dragged him into the fold of NBT.

There was a glimmer…a shine..Chris was positively radiating with light. It wasn’t until we grabbed him that we realized it was just the spotlight he was sitting beside. EH! It’s alright. Chris loved our passion for finding the right person so much that he took off the next day to find his powers to match our team.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

We just never knew how far he would go to achieve this greatness. We are forever grateful for it.

Remember Wonka Television? Well Chris used it to transport himself into hundreds of tv shows, movies and video games. This experience sharpened his skills for conversation and also made him a pro at first person shooters.

From there he took off to some lab (he still won’t tell us where) to infuse himself with some magic. I think he took too much but to each their own. Flying, super speed, eye lasers…he got the gold platinum package. Most of these things don’t even apply to the job requirements but at least we know we are protected if there is ever a need or a world needing saving.

When not wowing us at NBT Chris does enjoy his evenings and personal time. From parking lot parkour (whatever the heck that is) to creating abject art out of french fries and mayo he keeps busy.

Stop on in to meet the amazing Chris “Young Guns” Maverick. I’m sure he can share a few photos of his “art” while parkouring around to grab you some tires.

With a heavy heart but excitement for her new journey we mourn the loss of our beloved Micky. Such a wonderful ray of sunshine around the store. Her 5 year journey here was an amazing rise of a woman that approached NBT with excellence, passion and love for everything she did. From working front end sales she rose to Administration Officer for all of NBT.

We could write a novel about Micky. Micky could speak a novel about Micky (haha) and about anything of interest and that is why we love her so much! Always such a great conversation, such a great person, a great mother, and an amazing friend. Visit us always!

Michaela has coined the phrase “Out of this world”. Mainly because she literally is out of this world. She is actually a 6000 foot tall fire squid hiding inside that body!

When Michaela was a young squid she yearned for more than consuming universes and laughing about it with her friends. So she ventured to earth where she knew there was more opportunity. However she also knew she would have to take a human form to fit in with us earthlings. She went through a lot of bodies before she found the right fit. Side note – She actually tried Jakes body as well.

When Michaela walked into the store she was very forthcoming about her background and for this reason we decided she was a great fit with us! Openness, honestly, integrity is exactly what you expect to get from Michaela.

She does have a strange addiction to munchies of any kind & you’ll often see her snacking around the store. She said the candy reminds her of what a universe used to taste like.

Stop on in to see our little squiddy Michaela, bring candy to really win her over 😛
