RNR Tire Express Opens 100th Store

RNR Tire Express 100th store opening in Sarasota, Florida.
RNR Tire Express, the fastest-growing tire and custom wheel franchise in the nation, recently announced the opening of its 100th location in Sarasota, Florida. RNR has opened one new location every month for the past 30 months, helping the company achieve this landmark milestone. Founded in 2000 by longtime RTO veteran and APRO Hall of Honor recipient Larry Sutton, RNR Tire Express offers tires and custom wheels with payment plans. With a corporate culture that allows franchisees to have a high degree of entrepreneurial freedom and a proven record of same-store revenue growth of 20 percent for three consecutive years, the brand is seeking additional qualified multi-unit franchisees in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Utah, Oregon and Idaho, among other states. “This is a really exciting time in our brand’s history, as we are entering new markets and opening stores at a record pace,” says Sutton. “RNR continues to succeed and grow as people seek more affordable options when it comes to quality tires and wheels. Due to the demand for our pay-as-you-go model we plan to add an additional 16 stores to our roster before the end of the year.” RNR Tire Express will host a grand opening celebration on November 18 in Sarasota, Florida, to thank customers for their support throughout the Southeast.
