## Story

John Abraham, the franchisee responsible for this latest deal, has called Chicago home for over 40 years. During which time, he’s built a successful career within the healthcare industry.

Abraham credits a lifelong entrepreneurial passion and enthusiasm for the automotive sector as the driving forces behind his decision to invest in this next stage of his professional career. An investment he trusts will do a great deal of good for his fellow Chicagoans, giving them access to safe, quality tires and wheels from top manufacturers, with payment flexibility suited to fit any lifestyle or budget.

Founded in 2000 by rent-to-own veteran Larry Sutton, RNR offers and professionally installs high-quality tires and custom wheels to a growing market of underserved consumers.

The first location is anticipated to arrive in Melrose Park this fall, with the second and third expected in Waukegan and Aurora, respectively.

“Our brands’ entrance into Chicago has been a long time coming,” said Sutton, founder and CEO of RNR Tire Express. “The agreement is a perfect representation of the commitment our team has to serving as many communities and families.”
