RNR Tire Express Drives Goodwill
Most companies talk a big game about community involvement, but a generous tire retailer decided to really step on the gas. RNR Tire Express, standing tall under the multi-brand umbrella of DX3 Brands, just wrapped up its 10th annual Mother's Day Giveaway. They didn't just hand out flowers—three standout moms in Florida, Louisiana, and Virginia drove away with brand-new rides.
The Heavy Hitter in Franchising
Now, if you think this is just a publicity stunt, think again. RNR's been a solid franchise player since 2000, building itself into a household name with over 200 locations and over $350 million in annual revenue. This isn't just about tires; it's about community. And these car giveaways? They're an emotional rollercoaster, rightly nabbing attention from coast to coast.
Highlighting Remarkable Journeys
Moms Who Amaze
With over 12,000 nominations, choosing just three winners couldn't have been easy. But meet the triumphant trio: Katelynn Webber from Florida, Roquila Brown from Louisiana, and Salina Pugh from Virginia. Their stories are heartwarming—and frankly, downright humbling.
Webber, surprised alongside her young son at RNR's Brandon location, is not just a mom but a powerhouse. As a behavioral specialist working with autistic kids, she's not only focusing on her own family but is a beacon for many. She's penning children's books, pursuing a PhD—talk about juggling! Her dedication shines not just for her child but reaches into her community.

Championing through Challenges
Then there's Brown, receiving her new wheels at RNR Bossier City, Louisiana. Positioned as the hero of her family, she’s battling life's curveballs—a daughter with a severe heart condition, a son with autism, while dealing with financial strain. Life threw her another blow when she lost her job due to lack of transport, but her resolve is steel-strong. This car couldn't have come at a better time.
Pugh, picking up her prize in Suffolk, VA, rounds out this powerhouse trio. Though details on her story are brief, her win paints the picture of a life-changing moment—something every community could rally behind.
