2026 Heritage Award: pete Shau. Pete Shau has spent more than 20 years building a career in rent-to-own. In recent years, he has also made it his mission to make sure the people who built the industry, and those carrying it forward today, have a place to tell their stories. APRO recognized Shau, Franchise Training Specialist for RNR Tire Express and host of The RTO Show Podcast, with the 2026 Heritage Award during the APRO Awards Luncheon & Business Meeting at RTO World 2026 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The APRO Heritage Award recognizes the unsung heroes of rent-to-own, individuals who operate with consistent excellence while remaining ready to support their colleagues, APRO, and the industry. Shau's own career began where many rent-to-own careers do: on a delivery truck and in account management. "I literally started in a truck and on account management, learning this business from the ground up," Shau said in his acceptance remarks. Over the next two decades, he built a career working with Renter's Choice, Rent-A-Center, Rent King, Buddy's Home Furnishings, and now RNR Tire Express. Along the way, Shau said he was continually struck by the people behind the business. "What I found was this industry is full of people with genuine heart, people who show up every day for the customers that are counting on them," said Shau. "That's never, ever, ever stopped inspiring me." That inspiration eventually led him to create The RTO Show Podcast. Launched in August 2022, the podcast created a platform for conversations with people from across rent-to-own, including delivery professionals, store operators, multi-unit leaders, vendors, and company owners. For Shau, the goal was to give the industry a voice and recognize the people whose work might otherwise go unnoticed. "I wanted to give the industry a voice to celebrate the dealers, leaders, advocates, and the unsung heroes who keep rent-to-own moving forward," Shau said. "Every episode is my way of saying, 'What you do matters, and your story deserves to be told.'" That role expanded as APRO celebrated its 45th anniversary. In partnership with APRO and wowbrands, Shau became the host of APRO's RTO Legends Take the Mic series, sitting down with longtime industry pioneers, founders, and advocates to preserve their memories and experiences. By the time he received the Heritage Award, Shau had captured the stories of 23 rent-to-own legends, helping preserve decades of industry history for future generations. His involvement with APRO has extended beyond the microphone. Shau has participated in the APRO Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., since 2024, joining other rent-to-own professionals on Capitol Hill. He has also participated in the Florida Rental Dealer Association (FRDA) Legislative Day in Tallahassee. For the last three years at RTO World, Shau joined APRO CEO Charles Smitherman for live broadcasts of The RTO Show Podcast, bringing the conversations he started online directly to the industry's annual gathering. When announcing the 2026 Heritage Award, Shau was described as "the RTO Show Guy" and, with some affection, the industry's "lovable industry mascot." The recognition caught him off guard. "When I learned I had been selected, I was literally speechless," Shau said. "But to those of you who know me, that doesn't happen very often." For Shau, the significance of the award was rooted in the people who had received it before him and the industry whose stories he has spent years helping tell. "This award carries some real weight," he said. "The names it represents are some of the finest people the industry has ever produced, and to be counted among them is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life." Shau also credited the people who have trusted him with their experiences and supported his work, including APRO and the colleagues who have helped make the podcast and historical interviews possible. "This award is not just an honor for me," said Shau. "It's a reflection of every person in this industry who has trusted me with their story, their time, and honestly, their encouragement." The 2026 APRO Heritage Award recognizes a career built in rent-to-own and a commitment to giving the people behind the industry a microphone, preserving their stories, and making sure their contributions are remembered.

He plays with the kids and hypes them up when they are scared or nervous. We know he is always going to be there." She went on to explain that Peyton always puts his family's needs ahead of his own, driving a vehicle with more than 300,000 miles so his wife and children could have a safe and reliable vehicle. "When he is off work, he WANTS to be with me and the kids. I would love for him to win a truck because he deserves it. He puts us first every day... We just love him so much and appreciate how hard he works." "Father's Day is about recognizing the men who quietly show up for their families every day," said Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express and DX3 Brands. "When we heard Peyton's story, it was clear he puts others before himself and we were honored to celebrate him with a brand new Ford Maverick. We hope it serves as a reminder that the sacrifices he and so many fathers make for their family are seen, valued and deeply appreciated." This year's Father's Day Giveaway marked a milestone for RNR Tire Express as the brand awarded a brand-new vehicle for the first time in the promotion's history. Previous Father's Day giveaways have featured prizes including grills, tire and wheel packages and a Jurassic Park-themed Jeep.

RNR Tire Express recognized on Franchise Business Review's 2026 Culture100 List. At RNR Tire Express, Rnrfranchise has always believed that great franchise systems are built on more than strong financial performance - they're built on strong relationships, shared values, and a commitment to helping franchisees succeed. That's why Rnrfranchise is proud to announce that RNR Tire Express has earned a spot on Franchise Business Review's 2026 Culture100 List, recognizing the top franchise brands with the best company cultures in franchising! What Is the Culture100 List? Each year, Franchise Business Review (FBR) identifies 100 franchise brands that foster exceptional company cultures based on direct feedback from franchise owners. Unlike many franchise rankings, the Culture100 List is based entirely on independent franchisee surveys. Franchisees evaluate their franchisor across 17 key areas that contribute to a strong culture, including: * Leadership * Core Values * Franchisee Community * Trust * Communication * Engagement * Support * Overall Satisfaction Because the rankings come directly from franchise owners, this recognition carries special meaning. What Makes RNR's Culture Stand Out At RNR Tire Express, its mission is to create a Value DRiVEN Experience through its three core pillars: Culture, Customers, and Community. Rnrfranchise understand that franchisees aren't simply investing in a business - they're investing in a partnership. That's why Rnrfranchise focus on building a culture where franchisees feel supported, connected, and empowered to grow. From comprehensive training and operational guidance to ongoing marketing support and collaboration with its leadership team, Rnrfranchise is committed to helping franchisees achieve their goals. RNR's survey data showed the following: * Honesty & Integrity: 97%, compared to an industry benchmark of 76% * Enjoyment of the Organization: 95%, compared to 80% * Respect: 94%, compared to 78% * Trust: 94%, compared to 73% * Team Culture: 94%, compared to 74% Why Culture Matters in Franchising When evaluating franchise opportunities, prospective owners often focus on investment costs, market demand, and financial performance. While those factors are important, company culture can have a significant impact on long-term success. A strong franchise culture can help provide: * Better communication between franchisor and franchisees * Increased collaboration and idea sharing * Higher franchisee satisfaction * Greater operational consistency * Long-term growth opportunities At RNR, Rnrfranchise is proud that 95% of its franchisees are multi-unit owners. Rnrfranchise believe that level of expansion reflects not only confidence in its business model but also confidence in the culture and support behind the brand. Thank You to Its Franchisees This recognition wouldn't be possible without its incredible franchisees. Rnrfranchise is grateful for their trust, partnership, and commitment to serving customers and communities across the country. Their feedback helped earn this recognition, and Rnrfranchise is honored to be included among the franchise brands recognized for building outstanding cultures.
