History
Clifford Giese and his father Arnold realized there had to be a quicker, more convenient way to get an oil change than having to make an appointment with a garage or dealership. In 1976, they opened the first Mr. Lube location in Edmonton and by 1984 they initiated a franchise program, thus entering a period of major expansion. Mr. Lube has since become one of Canada's largest quick lube brand with approximately 170 locations in all provinces except Prince Edward Island.
