Why Should You Start an RNR Tire Express Franchise?

When considering opening any business, the first step is to evaluate the overall opportunity within the industry. Eighty-eight percent of Americans own at least one car, putting wheels and tires in high demand. Time and again, individuals will spend heavily on tires and auto services. Unlike some other competitors, RNR Tire Express has multiple payment options. This improves its market share in this industry because it provides customers with the products they need on a budget and time frame they can afford. 

RNR Tire Express is a unique automotive industry brand selling custom tires and wheels to customers on a “Rent-and-Roll” basis, meaning the customer gets their wheels of choice and pays later. The customer will bring their driver's license, vehicle registration, pay stub, and proof of where they live to get the wheels of their choice.

Payments can be made weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on the customer's purchasing power. Currently, RNR Tire Express has over 100 franchises across the United States.

What Might Make an RNR Tire Express Franchise a Good Choice?

Franchisees must also meet the company's set net worth and liquid capital requirements. A franchise term lasts ten years and might be renewed if both parties choose to do so.
