Leading Tire and Wheel Retailer Reaches Major Milestone with Opening of New Location in Schenectady, NY

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express (RNR), the leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, is accelerating its growth with the opening of its 200th location – a major milestone in the brand’s dynamic expansion. Set to open in Schenectady, NY, this landmark store underscores RNR’s commitment to meeting surging consumer demand for its innovative pay-as-you-go tire and wheel model while solidifying its footprint across the U.S.

At the helm of the 200^th location is husband-and-wife team, Jeff and Patrina Leland, who bring over three decades of business acumen to the brand. 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, NY, in January 2021, where Patrina’s operational expertise earned her the 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. 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,” said Jeff and Patrina Leland. “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”

RNR has redefined the tire and wheel industry by offering convenient, budget-friendly payment options tailored to each customer’s needs. Catering to a growing market of underserved consumers – millions who lack the disposable income to cover unexpected tire expenses of $1,200 or more – RNR provides access to safe, high-quality tires and custom wheels, professionally installed with care and expertise.

“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,” said 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 plans to continue its expansion throughout the remainder of the year, with additional openings scheduled in key markets, including Salisbury, NC, and Vicksburg, MS. As the brand continues to expand its nationwide footprint, company leadership is seeking new qualified franchisees in prime territories such as Denver CO, Nashville TN, Pennsylvania, and the Northeast.

HomeFront Brands announces acquisition of Roof Scientist

Paul Zboichyk2024-12-07T01:31:12-05:00December 7th, 2024|Tags: HomeFront Brands, Property Service Franchise Platform, Roof Scientist|

The leading home service franchise expands into the residential and commercial roofing sector

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — HomeFront Brands, a property service franchise platform comprising five emerging brands, announces today the acquisition of Roof Scientist, a franchise opportunity that utilizes Cericade, their own nano-ceramic coating, to extend the life of a roof. The expansion of brands was first announced during HomeFront Brands’ companywide Homecoming convention.

“Adding Roof Scientist to the HomeFront Brands family expands the services we offer to home and business owners across the country,” said Jeff Dudan, CEO of HomeFront Brands. “Our annual conference, HomeFront Brands Homecoming, is the perfect place to announce this new venture. Our franchise owners bring incredible energy to the event each year, and we know their enthusiasm will propel this launch forward.”

Dudan said adding a roofing franchise to its family of property service brands enhances HomeFront Brands’ ability to offer complementary businesses to entrepreneurs across the country. Roof Scientist works both as an individual franchise or an add-on to an existing business.

Roof Scientist, founded by Matt Snyder, offers homeowners an innovative and cost-effective alternative to replacing their roof. Application of their unique nano-ceramic coating Cericade extends the life of a treated roof by 20+ years through providing a barrier between roofing material and the elements. It is scientifically proven to resist damage by rain, wind and hail. Plus, the application of Cericade costs a fraction of the cost of a full roof replacement.

HomeFront Brands has big plans for Roof Scientist that are just getting started. To bring these plans to life, franchise industry veteran Michael Wagner has joined HomeFront Brands and is taking the lead as brand president for Roof Scientist. Wagner brings more than 25 years of business leadership, entrepreneurial skills, franchise leadership, sales and training experience to the rapidly growing family of property service brands.

“Roof Scientist brings a disruptive new solution to the roofing market,” Wagner said. “Our entire team has worked diligently to launch this new offering under our family of brands, and I’m looking forward to leading this exciting addition to HomeFront Brands as we continue to add advanced solutions to our property service portfolio.”

To learn more about this franchise or about HomeFront Brands’ other franchising opportunities please visit https://homefrontbrands.com/.

About Roof Scientist

Roof Scientist specializes in a proprietary roof fortification process that is extremely high in demand. Based on our research and experience, we felt that there was a need for a better, more functional, and simpler solution in the roofing industry than expensive roof replacements.

Using advanced techniques and nano-ceramic-based technology, we effectively protect, enhance, and fortify the original roof for a fraction of the cost.

About HomeFront Brands:

HomeFront Brands empowers entrepreneurs to create thriving franchised residential and commercial property service brands. Driven by an experienced team of franchise executives and rooted in family values, HomeFront Brands helps emerging or established concepts accelerate their growth by delivering enterprise-level solutions to local business owners who aspire to build a dynasty and create generational wealth.
