## Story

At the helm of the 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.

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.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the opening of our second RNR location,” said Jeff and Patrina Leland. “Being part of the RNR family has been an incredible experience. 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 offers convenient, budget-friendly payment options tailored to each customer’s needs. Catering to underserved consumers – millions who lack the disposable income to cover unexpected tire expenses – RNR provides access to safe, high-quality tires and custom wheels, professionally installed with care and expertise.
