RNR Tire Express has opened its 200th franchise location, a store in Schenectady, N.Y., owned by Jeff and Patrina LeLand.
The LeLands “bring over three decades of business acumen” to the RNR Tire Express brand, according to RNR Tire Express officials.
“After working together in a third-generation family distribution business, which was sold in 2019, they embarked on their entrepreneurial journey with RNR Tire Express. They opened their first location in Queensbury, N.Y., in January 2021, where Patrina’s operational expertise earned her (RNR Tire Express’) Rookie Manager of the Year award, despite having no prior experience in the tire industry
“Patrina manages the daily operations of their stores, leveraging her diligence and years of business experience to drive success,” according to RNR Express officials. “Jeff supports the business by identifying prime real estate opportunities and securing financing for expansion.”
“We’re thrilled to not only celebrate the opening of our second RNR location, but also bring the brand to this incredible milestone,” they say. “Being part of the RNR family has been an incredible experience, from the support we’ve received to the opportunity to serve our community with quality tire solutions.
“As we continue to grow, we’re excited to see where the future takes us and look forward to helping even more customers drive safely and confidently on the road”
“As we celebrate the opening of our 200th location, we recognize that this milestone is a testament not only to our strong business model but also to the unwavering dedication and hard work of our franchisees,” says Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express. “While we enter our company’s 25th year, we are excited to continue expanding and bringing our flexible payment solutions for tire and wheel needs to more communities across the country.”
RNR Tire Express plans to continue its expansion throughout the remainder of the year, with additional openings scheduled in key markets, including Salisbury, N.C., and Vicksburg, Miss.
“As the brand continues to expand its nationwide footprint, company leadership is seeking new qualified franchisees in prime territories such as Denver, Colo., Nashville, Tenn., Pennsylvania, and the Northeast.”
