Bridgestone said on Monday that it would buy Pep Boys, the car parts retailer, for about $835 million in cash, to gain a big increase in retail locations.

Buying Pep Boys — perhaps best known for its colorfully named founders, Manny, Moe and Jack, who are technically part of its legal name — will give Bridgestone about 800 more stores to add to its own network of 2,200 tire and car service centers.

Under the terms of the deal, Bridgestone will pay $15 a share through a tender offer. That’s nearly 24 percent more than Pep Boys’ closing price on Friday.

Shares of Pep Boys have climbed 39 percent over the last 12 months, with much of the gains coming after the company said that it was weighing a sale of itself.
