Rent’N Go Launches Franchising

September 19, 2007

Tamarac, FL

After years of perfecting the Rent’N Go custom wheels & tires retail concept, RNG president Bob Catino today announced the official launching of the company’s franchising program. “While I always felt our expansion would be through franchising, it has happened a bit faster than I thought it would. The system is ready and the results from operations indicate the time is right to launch our franchising initiative,” said Catino. 

Rent’N Go started coming together for Catino after he met Jim Taylor, a veteran of the wheels & tires business, as well as seasoned pro in the rent-to-own field. They became fast friends working on developing the first Rent’N Go store in Tamarac, Florida. Taylor is the company’s Vice President of Operations.

“From the very beginning we incorporated the tried and tested RTO qualities, with which I became so familiar over the years, with the growing appeal of the custom wheels and tires business,” said Taylor. “We opened Tamarac in August 2003 and quickly learned customers liked the offering. Our initial advertising generated substantial traffic to check out the merchandise, and virtually all who visited left with their sparkling new wheels and tires, and a rent-to-own relationship.” 

The business’ first year’s results far exceeded expectations. Rent‘N Go opened its second store a little over a year later just outside Miami. The performance at the second location mirrored that of the first store.

“As time passed, we received inquiries from entrepreneurs from all over the country about the possibility of duplicating Rent’N Go locally. Now we are ready to expand by offering Rent’N Go franchises in selected markets,” added Catino. “Our business model and our franchise program should be examined by folks looking to build a strong financial future in the booming rent-to-own industry with a highly desirable merchandise line of custom wheels and tires.”
