At Road Ranger, Eric Arnold challenges himself in his category manager role to anticipate customers’ needs and find ways to keep products affordable for them. Since becoming category manager, Arnold has launched the “Bargain Bin,” redesigned the in-store layout and established an energy club card. Started four years ago, the Bargain Bin was a way for Arnold to offer customers a unique product that was price friendly. Through a partnership with a newly sourced apparel company, Road Ranger introduced $1 T-shirts and $5 hoodies. “Customers were telling us they were going to Road Ranger specifically for these items. You’d see something posted on social media about it. And the best part was it wasn’t just, as we say, for a four-wheel customer; truckers were also excited, seeing that they had told us it’s cheaper to buy $7 worth of T-shirts than to do a week’s worth of laundry,” he said. The Bargain Bin turned into a $500,000 program. CStore Decisions is acknowledging Arnold’s hard work, creative ideas and successful problem solving with a Category Management Award.

Business trip down to the Lone Star State. 🤠 #NASCAR Road Ranger X Caymus Vineyards X Audibel

It was a bittersweet moment as we gathered at our corporate office for a sponsorship closing meeting with NASCAR driver Ty Majeski. Over the past three incredible years, we've had the honor and privilege of being Ty's primary sponsor, riding along with him on his thrilling journey in the world of professional racing. As Ty walked in, smiling warmly and shaking hands with everyone, the room was filled with a sense of pride and camaraderie. We reminisced about the unforgettable moments we've shared - the heart-pounding races, the triumphant victories, and the challenges overcome through sheer determination and skill. Ty expressed his heartfelt gratitude for our unwavering support, emphasizing how much it has meant to have us in his corner through thick and thin. As the meeting drew to a close, there were hugs, laughter, and maybe even a few misty eyes. Though this chapter of our partnership is coming to an end, the bonds forged will endure. We will always be Ty's most fervent fans, cheering him on from the stands and eagerly following his continued ascent in the world of NASCAR. As we bid farewell, we did so with the knowledge that the best is yet to come for this incredibly talented driver. Ty, here's to you and all the amazing successes that await you on the track and beyond. We'll be watching with pride and rooting for you every step of the way. (See you on the short track, kid.)

Road Ranger Announces 13 Race Xfinity Partnership With Haas Factory Team & Sheldon Creed. "Racing is not just about speed; it's about precision, strategy, and understanding when to push beyond limits," said Marko Zaro, CEO of Road Ranger. "Partnering with Sheldon Creed aligns us with a driver whose talent mirrors our own pursuit of excellence on America's highways." With this new chapter in their motorsport journey, Road Ranger aims to amplify its presence among NASCAR's fervent fanbase by tapping into the storied tradition and electrifying energy of the Xfinity Series. The move signifies more than sponsorship; it embodies a shared vision for pushing boundaries both on-track and off. "The true power of collaboration lies in recognizing potential before others see possibility," Ryan Arnold, VP Marketing at Road Ranger remarked. "As we join forces with one of racing's most promising Xfinity Series talents alongside HAAS Factory Team, we're set to redefine our engagement within this dynamic community. The unmatched energy and enthusiasm of NASCAR fans has always been truly infectious, and we have felt honored to be part of such a devoted community. Our investment in NASCAR sponsorship paid dividends not only in terms of visibility and exposure for the Road Ranger brand, but also in the meaningful relationships we built along the way. The pinnacle of our Truck Series journey was undoubtedly Ty's championship-winning season, a thrilling triumph that left an indelible mark on our company and we’re excited to see what we can do next.”
