Wild Bill’s Tobacco has acquired all 34 locations of Cheap Tobacco, including 33 in Central and Eastern Ohio and one in West Virginia, according to a press release from Wild Bill’s Tobacco. The deal was finalized in early November, allowing Cheap Tobacco’s Founder and CEO, Dennis Harper, to retire after “celebrating his 30th year with the company.”
Harper stated, “We’re confident that Wild Bill’s Tobacco will continue to provide amazing products and service you’ve come to expect while adding even more options to enjoy. We wouldn’t have passed the torch to anyone else but the Wild Bill’s family. Their reputation as a leader in our industry can’t be understated. We are proud to have served you over the years and know you will enjoy the added benefits of this transition.”
Prior to this deal, Wild Bills’s Tobacco had over 200 stores in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio and celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, according to the release.
