90 Years. 90 Stories.

Travis Olsen

Travis is the Orem Store Manager for Purcell Tire and has been with the company for over 2 years.

I joined Purcell Tire in August 2024 when Jack's Tire & Oil became part of the Purcell family. To say the transition was challenging would be an understatement. We were moving into a new building, learning new systems, bringing two teams together, and trying to continue taking care of customers while everything around us was changing. If you were part of it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Then, on the very day we started in the Purcell building, our Jack's family lost one of our coworkers. It was a heartbreaking reminder that life doesn't stop just because business has to keep moving. Looking back, what stands out isn't all the challenges. It's the people. Throughout that entire process, people across Purcell stepped in to help. Whether it was answering questions, helping us learn new systems, brainstorming solutions, or simply checking in to see how we were doing, we were never left to figure it out alone. Every time we hit another obstacle, someone was willing to help us work through it. That experience shaped the way I lead today. As a Store Manager, I try to create the same kind of environment. We all have difficult days, unexpected problems, and moments when the answer isn't obvious. I've learned that the best solutions always come from people working together and being open-minded and willing to help each other succeed. After everything we've been through, I'm proud to be part of Purcell Tire. Ninety years isn't built on tires alone. It's built on people who care about one another, step up when they're needed, and keep moving forward together. Congratulations to everyone who has been part of the first 90 years. I'm grateful to be part of the story and look forward to helping write the next chapter.
