Nation’s Leading Franchise Retailer of Tires and Custom Wheels to Open Huntsville’s First Location in Fall 2027

BOSTON — RNR Tire Express (RNR), the nation’s leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels and part of the multi-brand franchisor company DX3 Brands, continues to expand its Alabama presence with a signed franchise agreement that will bring the brand’s flexible lease-to-own tire payment options to Huntsville for the first time. Spearheaded by local mother-son entrepreneur team Marian Snow and Brett Standifer, the new location is expected to open fall of 2027.

“This marks an exciting step in our continued growth across Alabama,” said Adam Sutton, CEO of DX3 Brands and RNR Tire Express. “Marian and Brett bring a unique combination of business leadership, technical expertise and deep local market knowledge. Their high-performance mindset, entrepreneurial experience and commitment to serving the Huntsville community make them ideal franchise partners as we introduce RNR to this growing market.”

Standifer has spent 26 years in aerospace and automotive engineering, with experience managing large-scale projects across the automotive, defense and military sectors. Snow has built a diverse entrepreneurial career spanning corporate marketing, mortgage banking, retail ownership and real estate investing while also being the author of a bestselling real estate book. Both University of Alabama alumni, the mother-son team is now combining Snow’s entrepreneurial background with Standifer’s technical and automotive expertise as they begin their first business venture together with RNR Tire Express.

The agreement comes as Huntsville continues to gain national recognition for its economic strength and affordability. Earlier this year, the city was ranked the nation’s No. 1 city for financial resilience, reinforcing what drew Snow and Standifer to the market: a fast-growing community with strong economic momentum and a continued need for accessible tire and wheel solutions.

“We wanted to build something together that reflected our family’s values while creating opportunities for the future,” said Snow. “RNR stood out because of its people, its culture, and the meaningful difference it makes for customers every day. We’re excited to bring that same experience to Huntsville while building a business our family can grow together.”

The Huntsville expansion reflects broader momentum across the rent-to-own industry. With rising economic pressures and inflation, RNR is expanding to meet the needs of underserved consumers seeking affordable, flexible options for tire and wheel services.

RNR has carved out a unique niche in the tire and wheel industry with its convenient, flexible payment options that fit each customer’s budget. RNR professionally installs safe, quality tires and custom wheels to a growing market of underserved consumers; the tens of millions without the disposable income to pay upwards of $1,200 for out-of-pocket, unexpected tire expenses.

In her heartfelt nomination, Megan shared, “He is literally the best dad I could have ever dreamt of having for my children. He is my best friend. He plays with the kids and hypes them up when they are scared or nervous. We know he is always going to be there.”

She went on to explain that Peyton always puts his family’s needs ahead of his own, driving a vehicle with more than 300,000 miles so his wife and children could have a safe and reliable vehicle. “When he is off work, he WANTS to be with me and the kids. I would love for him to win a truck because he deserves it. He puts us first every day… We just love him so much and appreciate how hard he works.”

“Father’s Day is about recognizing the men who quietly show up for their families every day,” said Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express and DX3 Brands. “When we heard Peyton’s story, it was clear he puts others before himself and we were honored to celebrate him with a brand new Ford Maverick.

RNR Tire Express Awards Three Brand New Cars to Deserving Mothers for 10th Annual Mother’s Day Giveaway

2026-06-18T16:38:34-04:00June 18th, 2026|Tags: , , |

  • Leading tire & wheel franchise retailer surprised mothers in Florida, Louisiana, and Virginia with brand-new vehicles
  • RNR received over 12,000 submissions for this year’s giveaway

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express, the leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels and part of the multi-brand franchisor company DX3 Brands, celebrated its 10th annual Mother’s Day Giveaway by awarding three deserving mothers in Florida, Louisiana, and Virginia with brand-new vehicles.

Each year, RNR invites community members to nominate mothers with incredible stories and journeys, recognizing women who dedicate themselves to their families and communities every day. With more than 12,000 stories submitted across 31 participating stores nationwide, three nominations especially stood out. Katelynn Webber from Brandon, FL, Roquila Brown of Bossier City, Louisiana, and Salina Pugh of Suffolk, VA were selected as this year’s grand prize winners.

“We’re proud to recognize Katelynn Webber, Roquila Brown, and Salina Pugh as this year’s Mother’s Day giveaway recipients,” said Adam Sutton, CEO of DX3 Brands and RNR Tire Express. “Their stories are a powerful reminder of the sacrifice and compassion that so many moms carry every single day. The love and dedication they pour into the people around them truly embody the heart of why we do this. We are honored to celebrate them and grateful for the impact they continue to make in the lives of others.”

Webber, who was joined by her 5-year-old son, was surprised by the RNR team with her brand-new 2026 Buick Envista at the RNR Brandon location on May 19. She was nominated by her co-worker and best friend, Cassie, who described her as selfless and deeply passionate about helping others. As a behavioral specialist and mother of an autistic son, Webber has dedicated her life to supporting children with autism and emotional behavior disorders, working with students ages 3 to 22. She recently wrote a children’s book for children with autism and is pursuing her PhD in behavioral neuroscience.

Brown, who was joined by her family, was surprised by the RNR team with her brand-new 2026 Buick Envista at the RNR Bossier City location on May 22. Nominated by her 15-year-old son, Brown was described as the hero of her family. As a single mother raising three children, including a daughter with a serious heart condition and a son with autism, she has faced tremendous challenges while continuing to put her children first every day, even through financial hardships, health concerns and the recent loss of transportation that forced her to leave her job as a caretaker.

Pugh was awarded her 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer on Thursday, June 4th at the Suffolk RNR location.

“I’m beyond grateful to my family, Cassie, and the RNR team for this incredible gift and for shining a light on mothers like me,” Webber said. “Being a mom can be overwhelming, and sometimes you don’t realize how much of yourself you give. But I wouldn’t trade motherhood for anything, and I feel blessed to connect not only with my own child, but all the children I get to work with every day. This is truly a Mother’s Day gift I will never forget.”

The moment Webber received the surprise was captured on video and is available here.

RNR has continued to see strong participation in the Mother’s Day Giveaway, with thousands of stories submitted this year from communities across the country. In addition to the grand prize vehicle, participating RNR stores RNR honored deserving mothers with free sets of tires.

RNR Tire Express Launches DX3 Brands as New Multi-Brand Franchisor

DX3 Brands will oversee RNR Tire Express and welcome Gigglewaters as the Company Enters Its
Next Phase of Franchise Growth

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express (RNR), the leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, today announced the launch of DX3 Brands, a new multi-brand franchisor company that will serve as the parent organization for RNR Tire Express while supporting the growth of additional concepts, beginning with Gigglewaters, an award-winning dining and entertainment concept that combines a full-service restaurant and bar with a one-screen classic movie theatre. Gigglewaters delivers a uniquely immersive ‘eatertainment’ experience inspired by the 1920s.

“DX3 Brands marks the next phase in our evolution,” said Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express and DX3 Brands. “Over the past 25 years, we’ve built a powerful franchise system with RNR Tire Express. Now with DX3 Brands, we’re leveraging that infrastructure, expertise, and value driven culture to scale additional concepts and create new opportunities for franchisees and franchise brands looking to grow.”

The name DX3 reflects the company’s long-standing core values that drive everything it does: Culture, Customers, and Community. These principles have guided RNR’s internal operations for years and now serve as the foundation for DX3 Brands’ broader multi-concept strategy.

The launch marks the company’s transformation from a single-brand franchise system into a multi-brand franchise designed to support long-term growth across multiple concepts. DX3 Brands will provide the foundation, infrastructure, and operational expertise needed to continue the growth of RNR Tire Express and begin the expansion of Gigglewaters. Additional details on the platform’s vision can be found in the DX3 Brands video.

This evolution comes at a time of strong brand momentum, with the company recently earning a Notable Distinction in the 2026 FUND TopScore Awards, recognizing its performance and commitment to franchisee success.

Founded in 2000, RNR Tire Express has grown into a nationally recognized franchise brand with more than 200 locations across 30 states and over $350 million in annual revenue. As the company continued to scale, its leadership identified an opportunity to expand beyond a single brand and apply its franchise expertise to additional concepts.

Founded in 2018, Gigglewaters, an award-winning restaurant and micro-theater, is the first brand to join DX3 Brands. Its distinctive blend of dining, craft cocktails and entertainment reflects the type of value and experience driven concepts DX3 Brands aims to grow alongside RNR Tire Express.

“From the beginning, it was clear the Gigglewaters team shares our commitment to building a strong, people-first culture,” added Sutton. “They’ve developed a unique concept grounded in those values, and that alignment is what made this partnership such a natural next step.”

RNR Tire Express and Gigglewaters will join forces under DX3 Brands at MUFC in Las Vegas on March 24. You can visit RNR at booth 2321 and Gigglewaters at booth 2323.

2025-07-17T21:49:10-04:00July 17th, 2025|Tags: , , |

    • This Year’s Backpack Giveaway Will Take Place Across 175 Stores and Give Away Over 9,600 Backpacks
    • Select RNR Stores Will Offer Back-to-School Deals and Host a “Back to School Bash”
    • RNR Has Donated Nearly $1,000,000 in School Supplies Since the Inception of the Initiative

    TAMPA, Fla. — This back-to-school season, RNR Tire Express (RNR), the nation’s leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, proudly kicks off its annual teacher and backpack giveaways, celebrating the dedication of educators and the bright potential of students across the country. These annual initiatives are part of the brand’s mission of giving back in meaningful ways to the communities it serves.

    This initiative comes at a time when economic challenges are looming across the country and school supplies costing 9.4% higher than the same time last year. Providing backpacks and essential supplies to kids nationwide aids in alleviating stress for parents so they can focus on the upcoming school year.

    Now in its 11th year, RNR’s backpack giveaway will see 27 franchise groups, representing more than 175 stores, distribute over 9,600 backpacks filled with school supplies. With this year’s effort, RNR will surpass a milestone of 30,000 backpacks donated to students nationwide since the inception of the giveback initiative.

    Backpack Giveaway Details:

    • Simply visit your local RNR Tire Express location to pick up your backpack while supplies last from July 28 to August 9. For information regarding this year’s initiative, please visit rnrtires.com/school.
    • Select RNR locations will be offering back-to-school deals, free tire safety checks, and more to ensure families are safe on the road this fall.
    • In some markets, stores will be hosting a “Back to School Bash” to celebrate the school year beginning by inviting families for free food, backpacks, and giveaways.

    “We believe every child deserves to start the school year with the proper tools to set them up for success. By putting essential supplies into the hands of families in need, we’re investing in futures, supporting our communities, and showing up for one another in the ways that truly matter,” said Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express. “The backpack giveaway has remained a staple for the RNR team and the communities we serve, it’s a reflection of who we are as a community-first brand.”

    The teacher giveaway, in its fifth year, is a heartwarming, community-driven campaign designed to celebrate deserving teachers who go above and beyond for their students. Local community members are invited to nominate an exceptional educator who is worthy of recognition for their dedication and impact in education. One lucky teacher will be selected by the RNR team to be honored by having their entire Amazon classroom wish list purchased. These lists often include hundreds of dollars of school supplies, learning tools, and classroom resources that would otherwise be purchased out of pocket.

    “Teachers give so much of themselves, often digging into their own pockets to make sure their students have what they need,” added Sutton. “The annual teacher supply giveaway is our way of saying ‘thank you’ and recognizing the incredible impact they have every single day. At RNR Tire Express, we’re proud to stand behind the educators who shape the future, one classroom at a time.”

    Nominations for this year’s giveaway will be accepted from July 7 to August 2. For more information on the giveaway, and to nominate a local educator, please visit rnrtires.com/teacher.

That belief fuels everything we do, from the way we interact with our customers, to the initiatives we champion in the communities we call home.”

RNR Tire Express was selected for this prestigious award based on its outstanding efforts to create a culture of good within its organization and community. This was achieved through a wide-reaching, sustained focus on human rights and social justice, animal welfare, community development, and disaster relief efforts.

We’ve built a culture where service is not only celebrated – it’s who we are – and we’re just getting started.”

RNR’s team members are the wheels that drive these efforts. From hands-on volunteering to spearheading local service projects, they are encouraged to take the lead in giving back.

RNR Tire Express Opens 200th Franchise Location

2024-12-10T17:23:51-05:00December 10th, 2024|Tags: , , |

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 200th 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.
