MNRO
Management Change
New Projects/Investments
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
  • Monro closed 145 underperforming stores by the end of May, with inventory moved by the end of June. The monetization of real estate from 24 locations (21 lease, 3 owned) generated approximately $5.5 million in proceeds.
  • The company implemented a new digital marketing approach starting in July, which has been rolled out to approximately two-thirds of its stores by November. This strategy has driven incremental calls, revenue, and positive comparable store sales, with incremental marketing spend in the back half of FY26 expected to be EPS and net income accretive.
  • Monro made key leadership hires, including Kathy Chang as SVP of Merchandising in June and Tim Ferrell as head of marketing in September, to strengthen its merchandising and marketing capabilities.
  • A new machine learning-based pricing tool has been developed and implemented to tactically adjust prices by market, resulting in increased unit sales and gross margin dollars.
  • The company expects its FY26 gross margin to be consistent with the prior year, with Q2, Q3, and Q4 projected to be higher than the prior year to achieve this full-year target. The focus is on driving gross margin dollars rather than rate.
