Oshowa, Ontario (Canada) — RNR Tire Express (RNR), a leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, is officially entering Canada with the signing of its first international franchise agreement. The new location is currently under construction at 1080 Simcoe St. N in Oshawa, Ontario, and is anticipated to open in March 2026.
“Expanding into Canada is a natural next step for RNR as we continue to grow alongside our franchisees and the communities we serve,” says Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express. “Our focus has always been on creating opportunities, delivering reliable service and building a model that works for both customers and owners. We’re excited to bring that same approach to new markets and continue growing together.”
Spearheading the brand’s Canadian debut are business partners Rakesh Jegganolla and Sravan Sharma, two technology professionals turned entrepreneurs who were drawn to RNR’s unique rent-to-own model and strong franchise support system.
“Being the first RNR Tire Express franchise in Canada is an incredible opportunity to bring a proven, customer-focused model to a new market,” says Sharma. “We’re excited to introduce flexible payment options and high-quality service to the Oshawa community, and to set the foundation for RNR’s growth across Canada.”
The Oshawa store marks the first step in what could become broader expansion across Ontario and additional Canadian markets as the brand continues to grow its global footprint.
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 offers and professionally installs safe, quality tires and custom wheels for a growing market of underserved consumers who may not have the disposable income to cover unexpected tire expenses that can exceed $1,200 out of pocket, helping keep drivers safely on the road while better serving the needs of the local community.
RNR Tire Express is a national franchise retailer established in 2000 that has grown to over 200 locations in 30 states. For more information, visit www.RNRfranchise.com.
