RNR Tire Express, a leading U.S.-based tire and automotive service franchise, is officially expanding into Canada with its first international location in Oshawa, Ontario. Set to open in March 2026, this milestone marks the beginning of RNR’s global growth, bringing its unique rent-to-own tire model and customer-focused service to Canadian drivers.

The Oshawa franchise will be operated by business partners Rakesh Jegganolla and Sravan Sharma, technology professionals turned entrepreneurs. After years of building successful careers in tech and consulting, the duo pursued a long-standing goal of owning a business together. They selected RNR Tire Express for its strong franchise support, proven business model, and ability to provide flexible payment options to customers.

“Being the first RNR Tire Express franchise in Canada is an incredible opportunity to bring a proven, customer-focused model to a new market,” said Sharma. “We’re excited to introduce flexible payment options and high-quality service to the Oshawa community and lay the foundation for RNR’s growth across Canada.”

Oshawa was chosen as the ideal Canadian market due to its growing population and the demand for reliable, accessible tire services. While traditional tire retailers operate in the area, none offer the combination of flexible payment options, extensive product selection, and exceptional customer experience that define the RNR franchise model.

This expansion aligns with RNR Tire Express’s ongoing strategy to grow alongside its franchisees while delivering reliable, community-focused service. With a proven track record in the United States, the brand is now positioned to replicate its success internationally, starting in Ontario.
