Franchise Model Drives Local Engagement Across a National Footprint

TAMPA, Fla. (April 28, 2026) – RNR Tire Express (RNR), the leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels and part of the multi-brand franchisor company DX3 Brands, is expanding its systemwide approach to community impact, with franchisees nationwide mobilizing to deliver more than $3.2 million in charitable contributions across the system, underscoring the growing scale of its giving as the brand builds momentum in 2026.

“We’re honored to reach this milestone as we strive to be a company that gives more than we take,” said Adam Sutton, CEO of DX3 Brands and RNR Tire Express. “It reflects how engaged our franchisee partners are in their local communities and how that shows up across our brand. It’s built into who we are and I’m excited to see our impact grow as we continue to expand.”

Built around its vision “Changed Lives, Changing Lives” RNR continues to empower franchisees to lead meaningful local outreach while scaling national initiatives that support families, educators, and nonprofit organizations across the country.

Scaling Community Impact Across the Franchise System

RNR’s philanthropic approach was recently recognized with a 2025 Culture of Good Community Impact Award, presented by Culture of Good, Inc., honoring businesses that demonstrate excellence in corporate citizenship and community engagement. The recognition reflects the brand’s focus on building structured, systemwide programs that drive consistent impact.

At the core of this approach is a portfolio of recurring initiatives that operate across RNR’s national footprint while enabling franchisees to activate locally.

Expanding Impact Through Franchise-Led Initiatives

In addition to systemwide programs, RNR supports franchisees in leading localized outreach tailored to their communities, connecting them with partners and resources to broaden their reach. Through partnerships with organizations such as Declare No More Foundation franchisees gain access to local nonprofits and tools that enable community engagement beyond corporate-led initiatives.

This approach is embedded directly into the brand’s franchise model, giving operators a clear path to grow their businesses while making a meaningful impact at the local level.

Throughout 2026, RNR will continue expanding its community initiatives through ongoing programs, including additional vehicle, tire, wheel, and financial giveaways, as well as its annual systemwide Serve Day on October 11, when franchise locations nationwide dedicate time and resources to local outreach and volunteer efforts.
