Yoakum, Tx -Yoakum Lube & Tire held its official Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening on Wednesday, June 24 at 5 p.m., marking a proud milestone for the business and the Yoakum community.
Guests stopped by to meet the team, enjoy free hamburgers, hot dogs, and drinks, and entered multiple door‑prize drawings held throughout the event. Community members also toured the facility, visited with staff, and watched as the ribbon was officially cut, celebrating the opening of a new locally operated service center.
Every great business has a story, and this one began right here in Texas. Yoakum Lube & Tire is part of a family‑owned operation founded by Edward and Sherry Oakes, who have long served communities across the region. Built on hard work, strong values, and a commitment to fair pricing, the company’s mission has always been simple: take care of people first.
The team emphasized that they are more than oil changes and tires—they are neighbors who believe in supporting local events, youth programs, and the communities they call home. That commitment was reflected in the warm turnout and enthusiastic support shown during the grand‑opening celebration.
The owners and staff expressed their appreciation for everyone who attended and shared their excitement about serving customers in the Yoakum area for years to come.
