RNR Tire Express has signed a five-unit agreement to bring new locations across Alabama.
Site selection is currently underway for the first location in Birmingham, Ala., with a tentative opening date of Q3 2025. Father-son franchise partners, Rucker Sr. and Rucker Jr. Durkee, spearheaded this initiative.
With the first store opening anticipated in the second half of 2025, the duo plans to launch all five locations over the next five years. To ensure a successful rollout, both Rucker Sr. and Rucker Jr. will be onsite, overseeing daily management while interacting with guests and learning the trade through boots on the ground oversight. Once established, Rucker Jr. will remain onsite for client-facing responsibilities while Rucker Sr. will handle back of the house operations such as financials, real estate and more.
“Rucker Sr. and Jr. are prime examples of what it takes to be successful entrepreneurs,” says Larry Sutton, founder of RNR Tire Express.
“We are extremely excited to welcome them into the RNR family and support them as they undergo launching in the Birmingham community.”
