RNR Tire Express has 10 key attributes which make us unique, profitable, sustainable, and scalable as a franchise investment opportunity.
STRONG UNIT-LEVEL ECONOMICS.
Franchisees benefit from a combination of high volumes and high margins, leading to high profits.
LARGE, FRAGMENTED $40B+ INDUSTRY.
With over 200 locations nationwide, RNR Tire Express is already one of the largest and fastest growing chains in the country. RNR expanded 50% over the last 5 years.
WE SELL TO AN UNDERSERVED MARKET.
RNR Tire Express franchisees serve a demographic who may not have access to credit cards or other sources of financing. Studies have found that 40% of consumers would find it difficult when faced with an unexpected $400 expense.
OUR BUSINESS IS SCALABLE.
95% of franchisees have multiple units and continue to expand. Most of our growth comes from existing franchisees opening additional stores in their territory and expanding into new territories. Even with our rapid growth, prime territories are still available.
OUR FRANCHISEES ARE GROWING.
RNR Tire Express franchisees opened over 55 new locations in the last 4 years. Prime markets are still available to develop.
FRANCHISEES TRUST US.
We are perennially ranked the No. 1 franchise in our category by Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500 ranking.
NO AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
We have a track record of success in helping smart entrepreneurs learn this business and succeed. Most of our franchisees are expansion-minded multi-unit owners. Most franchisees come from outside automotive retail.
WE HAVE HIGH BARRIERS TO COMPETITIVE ENTRY.
With high barriers to both investment, skills, and knowledge, it is very difficult for new chains to enter this market. Because customers want new tires to be professionally installed and old tires must be responsibly discarded, this prohibits online retailers like Amazon from establishing a presence.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUSTAINABLE.
With over 200 locations and a 20-year track record, we have proof of concept and have proven ourselves over the long haul. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 30% of businesses in the United States survive 10 years, a testimony to our unique, profitable, and sustainable franchise business model.
EXPERIENCED AND EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP.
