Monro, Inc. Partners with Building Homes for Heroes

Initiative raises funds to build homes for injured veterans, first responders, and families.

ROCHESTER, NY - July 1, 2024 - Monro, Inc. (Nasdaq: MNRO) ("Monro"), one of the largest independent auto service and tire dealers in the United States, announced today its new collaboration with the non-profit organization, Building Homes for Heroes. The partnership is committed to bringing renewed hope by raising funds for building homes for our nation's injured veterans, first responders, and their families.

The initiative, running from July 1 through September 2, encourages people from our community to donate $1, $5, $10, or even more to help make a difference to those who have served our country. To contribute, they can visit one of Monro's participating brand locations. Guests can also contribute to the initiative directly by adding a donation to their invoice during checkout.

"At Monro, we believe in giving back to our community and supporting those who served our nation and the first responders who protect our safety every day. We are thrilled to partner with an organization with such heart, Building Homes for Heroes," said Ben Montano, Senior Director of Marketing & Merchandising. "Their dedication to providing a future for our veterans and first responders, along with their families, deeply resonates with Monro's values. Together, we hope to make a difference in the lives of our nation's heroes and their loved ones."

"Building Homes for Heroes is proud to partner with Monro in support of our nation's heroes, who serve and sacrifice so much," said Andy Pujol, Founder and CEO of Building Homes for Heroes. "These funds will contribute to our mission of changing lives and even saving lives. We look forward to many more accomplishments this year, including reaching 40 homes, our milestone 400th home by Veterans Day, and helping more than 2,500 heroes in 2024 alone through all of our programs. Together, we're truly building better and brighter lives for our nation's heroes."

This initiative reflects Monro, Inc.'s ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities it serves.
