Cy & Charley's started in 1952 when Cy Hearn (Ron's grandfather, who worked for Louis Chanen since 1933) and Charlie Gerken purchased Chanen's Home and Auto Supply Store (Louisville) from Louis Chanen, who had started in the tire business in 1922. In 1962, after Cy Hearn's death, Don Hearn continued to operate Cy & Charley's. Cy & Charley's current owner, Ron Hearn became a full-time employee in 1982. Today Ron Hearn and his son, Cy Hearn, are here to serve all your tire and appliance needs.
In the past a variety of goods have been sold at Cy & Charley's; canoes, boats, motors, and trailers. We have sold lawnmowers, bicycles, batteries, antifreeze, and lottery tickets. And we wouldn't want to forget can openers, safety goggles, car floor mats, golf balls, trash can liners, barn brooms, or a roll of rope. Cy & Charley's also used to retread tires! We have a variety of our old ads on display at our new store for you to see proof of many of the items we have sold in the past.
Cy & Charley’s original location was at 1001 5th Ave NE. This location was used until February of 2007, when we moved to our new location of 1800 3rd Ave SE.
We strive to provide fast, efficient, courteous service. Our people have the experience to do the job right the first time. We want to be your "Tire and Appliance Headquarters." We hope you take the time to stop and visit us. We will be happy to serve you.
