Key Takeaways
Investment-Grade Parent
Firestone Complete Auto Care is run by Bridgestone Retail Operations, a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas (Bridgestone, June 4, 2026). Boulder lists an S&P rating of A for the Bridgestone Corporation parent, which is investment grade. The rating belongs to the parent, so confirm who signs each lease and whether Bridgestone guarantees it (The Boulder Group, September 2026).
Typically Triple Net Leases
Boulder reports typical Firestone leases as triple net with a 15-year term and 10% rent increases every 5 years (The Boulder Group, September 2026). Confirm in each lease who is responsible for the roof and structure.
Cap Rates by Remaining Term
Firestone properties currently show asking cap rates of 5.50% – 5.80% with 10 years remaining and 5.00% – 5.30% for a new 15-year lease, rising to 6.30% – 6.60% with 5 years left (The Boulder Group, September 2026).
A Century-Old, Company-Owned Network
Firestone Complete Auto Care marked its 100th anniversary in 2026 with more than 1,800 stores across 48 states and more than 9,500 technicians (Tire Review).
Firestone NNN Cap Rates and Lease Data
If you’re weighing a Firestone property, three things shape what you’ll earn: who the tenant is, how the lease is structured, and what yield you’re paying for. Here’s how they fit together.
On the first two, the picture is reassuring. Boulder lists an S&P rating of A for the Bridgestone Corporation parent, which is investment grade, and a typical lease is triple net with a 15-year term and a 10% rent increase every five years.1 That is steady, predictable income, though the rating belongs to the parent, so confirm who the tenant and guarantor are. The increases work out to only about 2% a year, so most of your return comes from the yield you buy in at, not from rent growth.
That’s where cap rates come in. Boulder shows asking cap rates of 5.00% – 5.30% on a new 15-year lease, 5.50% – 5.80% with 10 years left, and 6.30% – 6.60% with 5 years left.2 The pattern is worth knowing: as the remaining term gets shorter, the yield goes up. You’re being paid more to take on the question of whether Firestone renews when the lease ends.
In dollars, Boulder puts the average sale price at about $4.36 million with average rent of about $240,000 a year. On a typical 7,000 SF store, that works out to roughly $623 per square foot.3

Firestone as a Tenant
How Firestone operates
Firestone Complete Auto Care is Bridgestone’s U.S. auto service retail chain, run by Bridgestone Retail Operations, a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas based in Nashville. Bridgestone Retail Operations describes its network of company-owned auto service locations as the largest in the world, and it is marking the brand’s 100th anniversary in 2026 (Bridgestone, June 4, 2026).
Boulder’s tenant page is titled Bridgestone/Firestone and lists 2,200 locations and a typical 7,000 SF building. Bridgestone’s own count for Firestone Complete Auto Care is more than 1,800 U.S. locations, and Bridgestone Retail Operations also runs Tires Plus, Hibdon Tires Plus and Wheel Works stores (Bridgestone, June 4, 2026).
Financial strength and credit
Boulder lists Firestone as publicly owned, through Bridgestone Corporation, with an S&P rating of A (The Boulder Group, September 2026). Review the parent’s current credit ratings from the major agencies and Bridgestone Corporation’s financial reports as part of your due diligence.
That A rating compares with BBB for AutoZone, B+ for Goodyear and BB for Valvoline in the same report (The Boulder Group, September 2026).
Why Investors Buy Firestone Properties
Firestone combines an investment-grade parent rating with a long triple net lease. Boulder reports an S&P rating of A for Bridgestone Corporation, a typical 15-year term and 10% rent increases every five years (The Boulder Group, September 2026).
Yields reflect that credit. With 10 years remaining, The Boulder Group’s September 2026 asking range of 5.50% – 5.80% for Firestone sits just above AutoZone (5.40% – 5.70%) and below Goodyear (6.00% – 6.30%) and Jiffy Lube (6.45% – 6.75%).
Scale adds to the case. Bridgestone Retail Operations runs more than 1,800 company-owned Firestone Complete Auto Care locations (Bridgestone, June 4, 2026), so a lease is tied to a large operator rather than a single franchisee.
Risks and Market Conditions
The main thing to check is who actually stands behind the lease. The A rating is for Bridgestone Corporation, while the operating tenant may be a Bridgestone Retail Operations entity, so ask whether the parent guarantees the lease (The Boulder Group, September 2026).
Auto service is also a competitive category, and a 7,000 SF building with service bays is purpose-built for it. When you evaluate a specific store, look at the local market and the remaining lease term, not just the brand.
