    PHILADELPHIA, April 14 Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. (Nasdaq: MNRO) has increased its presence in the
greater Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware areas with the conversion of
16 former Speedy Auto Service stores to Monro Muffler/Brake & Service stores.
(See list below for new locations.)
    "This expansion allows us to provide a broader range of services at the
most competitive prices for our customers by increasing cost efficiencies in
purchasing, distribution, advertising and field management," said Robert G.
Gross, chief executive officer.  "The integration also represents a
significant strategic move by increasing market share and brand recognition."
    With convenient hours, including evenings and Saturdays, the new locations
will feature an expanded menu of everyday maintenance services from what was
previously offered by Speedy, including: oil changes, wipers, state safety
inspections, batteries, alignments and tires.  All locations offer Monro's
Best Price Guarantee, which matches prices before you buy and for 30 days
after, as well as a Monro's Service Guarantee to do it right the first time.
    With more than 40 years of experience and 500 stores in the northeast,
including 36 in the tri-state area, Monro services over 2 million cars
annually, and is one of the nation's leading automotive specialists.
