Family-owned tire and auto shop permanently closes after seven years

Known for the slogan "Where the hugs and the handshakes are free," Ricky's Tire and Auto Center in West Columbia recently announced on social media that the family-owned business is having a yard sale on Saturday and permanently closing its doors. Ricky Branham said he has owned the tire and auto center for seven years, and the shop employs six people, including himself.
The yard sale will take place Saturday, Aug. 5, from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. and will feature various items, including clothes, toys, tools, and Christmas decorations.
Branham says he kept fighting despite the ebbs and flows he has experienced over the years. However, the impact was becoming a bit too much, and he prayed about it and decided to close the shop permanently.
