Henry Cantrell and his partner launched the first Moore’s Firestone in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1960. Cantrell put up his 1957 Ford automobile and partner, Barney Moore put up his homemade boat for collateral to launch the company. The first year of operations sales were $300,000. Over the next 30 years, they successfully opened thirty-two stores, four retread plants, and a parts warehouse and fuel service with locations in Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. 

The flagship of current operations in the company is Moore’s Retread and Tire Company of Springdale, Arkansas which is the primary provider of retread tires to J.B.

Subsequently, in 1998, Cantrell and his partners purchased Macho Tire Company in Dallas and Houston, Texas. In 1999, they added another CIMA plant in Dallas.
