FORT PIERCE, FL (DECEMBER 6, 2023) – RNR Tire Express (RNR), the leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, has made a significant move to expand the brand’s presence in Southeast Florida with the licensing of their newest franchise partners, Evan, Ryan, and Jeff Mouhalis. The family, who now has development rights along the 33-mile stretch of coast between Vero Beach and Stuart, has already announced plans for their first location in Fort Pierce, intended to open April 2024.
All three come from a background in the finance space, partnering for the first time with the launch of their Family real estate development & investment company back in 2016. That company has since purchased and/or developed $75 million worth of commercial development projects in Florida, prompting their decision to diversify business holdings and invest in a concept capable of benefiting and providing for local communities.
“We spent 5 years searching for a business opportunity whose culture and commitment to customers was worth getting involved with,” said Evan. “After meeting with the RNR team and learning how the brand has built itself up on the foundation of providing underserved demographics with access to safe and affordable tires and wheels, we knew it was a franchise worth building our footprint with.”
The Mouhalis’s have expressed an intention to open a total of 30 RNR Tire Express locations over the course of the next 15 years, with the first to arrive in Fort Pierce in the coming months.
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, high-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.
“Even decades after the RNR franchise opportunity first launched, our home state momentum hasn’t slowed down,” said Larry Sutton, founder and CEO of RNR Tire Express. “It goes to show that there’s no shortage of men and women out there wanting to join our cause and change the lives of the families and communities around them.”
