RNR Tire Express Enters Canada

RNR Tire Express is entering Canada with the signing of its first international franchise agreement.

Rakesh Jegganolla and Sravan Sharma are building a new RNR Tire Express franchise store in Oshawa, Ontario, that will open next month.

"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.”

According to RNR Tire Express officials, Jegganolla spent more than 13 years working as a software engineer "before transitioning into franchising in 2020 through the childcare industry, where he developed a strong appreciation for franchise support and operational structure. Sharma brings over a decade of business acumen with experience spanning technology, consulting, and working alongside Big Four firms.

"After building successful careers in technology, both partners pursued a long-standing goal of launching a business together in Canada. Following extensive research, they identified RNR as the ideal opportunity to introduce a differentiated automotive retail concept to the Ontario market."

"We’ve always wanted to own a business together and RNR checked every box we were looking for,” says Jegganolla. “Tires and wheels are an essential service with consistent demand, and the rent-to-own model allows us to make a real impact in the community by helping customers access safe, reliable transportation.”

The Oshawa store "marks the first step in what could become broader expansion across Ontario and additional Canadian markets," say RNR Tire Express officials.
