Taking a Tire Store from Unprofitable to Thriving

In this episode of What’s Treading with Tire Review, we speak with a tire dealer duo who took an unprofitable RNR Tire Express store, revamped its process and turned it into a thriving operation eight years later.

How do you take an unprofitable store and make it a revenue-generating machine?

In this episode of What’s Treading with Tire Review, we speak with a tire dealer duo who’s done just that: Cassandra White and Courtney Condor, owners of an RNR Tire Express store in Puyallup, Washington.

Eight years ago, these sisters took over their parent’s store and made some major changes to yield positive and profitable results. Casee and Courtney delve into:

  • How they started in the tire industry, took over their parent’s store and the experience they brought to the business [0:53 video]
  • Getting outside help to evaluate the business and areas they sought to improve [4:34 video]

  • The importance of consistency and what Casee and Courtney believe will lead to their business’ longevity [14:58 video]
