Tire and custom wheel franchise retailer RNR Tire Express (RNR) is celebrating the brand’s growth and recent accolades heading into the new year.
RNR opened 15 new franchise locations in 2023, boosting its total store count to 193 on its way to 200, which it expects to reach this summer.
Part of this year’s anticipated growth stems from recently signed development agreements that include an expansive territory agreement along Florida’s Treasure Coast and deals to bring RNR Tire Express to new states such as West Virginia and Oregon, the company noted in a press release.
“I may be relatively new to the RNR family, but the traction the RNR concept has taken with new markets to close out the year has made me extraordinarily optimistic for what heights we can reach in 2024,” said Trish Deschenes, franchise sales director of RNR Tire Express.
In the last year, RNR was named to Entrepreneur’s 45th Annual Franchise 500 list, earning the brand a spot in the magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame rankings for having appeared on the list for 10 or more consecutive years.
Additionally, RNR was named to Entrepreneur magazine’s Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners list, received the Franchise Update Media 2023 Innovation Award, appeared on the 2023 Franchise Times Top 400, and was Franchise Business Review’s Top Franchise for 2024.
“While our RNR team continued to work diligently to sign new franchise agreements and open more locations nationwide, seeing that work gain national recognition within the franchising space was truly amazing. We take meaningful strides each year to push the RNR brand forward, and last year was no different.” said Larry Sutton, founder and CEO of RNR Tire Express.
The brand’s franchise opportunities attract automotive professionals of all backgrounds and levels of experience, the release noted.
