Rent-to-Own

Two new RNR Custom Wheels and Tires stores are headed for Virginia and managers and sales staff are gearing up.

RNR of Virginia — an affiliated RTO Inc. company and RNR franchisee — plans to open its first store in Norfolk, Virginia, in October and the second this spring in Hampton, Virginia.

The new company, co-owned by Richard Rose and Jeff Loeb, who also operate 19 Bestway Rent-To-Own stores, has exclusive development rights to Virginia and Washington, D.C. markets and the deal calls for the opening of at least 10 RNR stores in those markets, according to Rose.

 

Though the process of acquiring property and appropriate zoning for the new stores proved time consuming, Rose was optimistic about the stores’ potential.

"As long as things go alright, we are going to be very aggressive in opening these stores," Rose said.

Nine employees who will head up the two new RNR Virginia stores are completing a four week boot camp this week with RNR owner Larry Sutton at RNR headquarters in Tampa, Florida.

 

The addition of the two RNR of Virginia stores raises RNR’s nationwide store count to 72 stores. The company remains the largest rent-to-own wheel and tire franchise in the country.

RNR Virginia staff train up with RNR owner Larry Sutton in Tampa, Florida.
