Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate your input. 
Tires are a fairly pricey item, so I'd like to go somewhere where I know we'll have a good experience. Looks like I've got several good options. Thanks!!

Goodyear store in Freeport, local owned. Best deal on tires plus install I've found any place in the area.

Here is a video from ABC news about aged tires being passed off as brand new ~ very interesting! Aged Tires: A Driving Hazard? - ABC News
I of course immediately went outside after watching this video the first time to check my tires that I purchased in 2008. 3 of the 4 tires I bought were manufactured in 2006. They were purchased at the Sears - Santa Rosa Mall.
Just make sure to check your tire dates before they put them on your car.

Do a google search about buying tires from Walmart or Sam's Club before you do it. Buyer beware.
Checking the date on the tires is very important. Some folks have cheaper tires because they buy a million at a shot and then take 4 years to sell them all meaning some people get old brand new tires that have already started to rot.

Tire Rack's prices are often low enough that you save over buying locally, even though you've got to pay separately for mounting and balancing.
They also have local affiliates where you can have your tires drop shipped for installation. Check their web site. I used a shop in PC several years back - bought the tires online, drop shipped, installed in PC. Painless and simple.
You can get the tires you want, too, not whatever the tire store has in stock and wants to unload on you.
I'm a fan.
