At RNR Tire Express, success is measured by more than the number of stores we open. It’s also reflected in the impact our franchisees and brand have on the communities they serve.

That commitment was on display once again with our 6th Annual Teacher Giveaway, which recognized two outstanding educators by fulfilling their classroom wish lists ahead of the new school year.

Selected from more than 1,500 nominations submitted from communities across the country, Jeannie Baumes and Chrissi Brandhuber of Eastside Academy of Leadership and Innovation in Brooksville, Florida, each received the classroom supplies and educational resources they requested to help their students succeed.

Celebrating Educators Who Go Above and Beyond

This year’s winners were chosen for their unwavering dedication to their students and their communities.

• Jeannie Baumes was recognized for her compassion and commitment to ensuring every student has the supplies and support they need to thrive. Beyond teaching, she regularly provides food, clothing, and other essentials to students facing challenges outside the classroom.
• Chrissi Brandhuber, a librarian at a Title I school, received books to stock a student book vending machine, helping inspire a lifelong love of reading for children throughout her school.

“Educators have an incredible way of shaping lives, not just through what they teach, but through the way they show up for their students every day,” said Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express and DX3 Brands. “We’re so grateful for the teachers who pour into the next generation and live out our mission of ‘Changed Lives Changing Lives’ in the classroom and beyond.”

Community Is Part of the Business Model

For prospective franchisees, initiatives like the Teacher Giveaway demonstrate that community involvement isn’t an afterthought, it’s part of who RNR is.

From recognizing teachers and honoring deserving mothers and fathers to supporting local organizations through franchisee-led initiatives, RNR believes strong businesses are built by investing in the people and communities they serve.

This commitment is reflected in the company’s Value DRiVEN culture, built around Culture, Customers, and Community, and continues to be one of the defining characteristics of the RNR franchise system.

Building Businesses That Make an Impact

When entrepreneurs choose RNR Tire Express, they’re joining more than an established tire franchise. They’re becoming part of a brand that believes business success and community impact go hand in hand.

As RNR continues to grow across North America, so does its commitment to creating meaningful opportunities to give back and make a difference in the communities where franchisees live and work.
