What Is RNR Tire Express’ Business Model?

RNR Tire Express’ business model is focused on offering tire and related automotive services to customers. According to the brand’s website, the RNR Tire Express franchise opportunity is recession-resistant and offers entrepreneurs “the proof of concept, profitability, scalability, sustainability, and barriers to entry smart franchise investors look for.”

RNR boasts that its company culture is built on serving its customers “and not just providing them service.” Additionally, the brand offers a unique lease purchase payment model that allows franchisees to make money both on the sale of tires and custom wheels, as well as extended lease payments. The lease-purchase payment model serves an underserved consumer niche of middle-income customers who don’t have the credit or cash to pay for replacement tires.
