professional and efficient service because our Franchise
Partners always provide a superior service than is
available elsewhere, as you may do in Rugby.
New branches are often started as a sole trader business
with the Franchise Partner fitting tyres himself. As the
level of sales grows a trained tyre fitter is employed.
Later a second and third fitter are employed.
Alternatively the business can be operated purely as a
Management Franchise, with all the operational activity
delegated to employees. Either way, branches can be
built up to be very lucrative, with strong sales and
cashflow, as would this franchise opportunity in Rugby.

More about Rugby
Our knowledge of prehistoric Rugby is very sketchy.
Only one bronze age dagger has been found in the town
itself. Due to the spread of the town much of the
archaeology has been lost.
The 19th Century antiquarians of Rugby thought that a
number of Iron Age defended sites faced each other
across the river valley. However most of the earth works
are now thought to have been medieval. Archaeologist's
are uncertain of the names of Iron Age tribes, let alone
where the boundaries were.
There are some pagan period Saxon burials in the Rugby
area but not enough to suggest a large population. Place
Name evidence also suggests a significant British
population survived in the area. Both the Avon and Leam
river names are Celtic words and the place name of
Exhall north of Coventry suggests a British christian
church may have continued in use.
While Rugby is mentioned in the Domesday Book the form
of the settlement at that date is not known for certain.
However most midlands villages had evolved open fields
around a single central settlement by the end of the
11th century.
The manor of Rugby was treated as being worth a half of
a knights fee. It was part of the Earl of Warwick's
lands from before 1086 to around 1500. In 1086 the manor
was held from the Earl by Edwulf and his family remained
Lords of the Manor until about 1310. The line included
the two Henry de Rokeby's who probably developed the
market. The first Henry also split the manor up by
leaving 200 acres of the fields to Pipewell Abbey and
this land remained separate until 1720.
The manor was passed between various members of the Earl
of Stafford's family. In 1421 it was given to a nephew,
the son of the Duke of Buckingham. The Buckingham branch
of the Staffords got into trouble with the law and
forfeited their lands to the crown around 1500. They
lost all contact with the manor of Rugby when the third
duke was executed in 1521.
Rugby did not have a priest in 1086. The church at
Clifton-upon-dunsmore served as the mother church for
quite a large area. A chapel of ease had been built by
1140 and the names of a Decon is known from 1220. Rugby
may not have become an independent parish until the
1290's.
Until the arrival of the canals in the 1770's the Rugby
area was rural with only traditional village industries
such as corn milling and blacksmithing. Rugby was not
big enough to support any of the agricultural
engineering industries that existed in larger market
towns.
Rugby got into the railway age early, being on the first
trunk main line - between London and Birmingham.
Building started in 1835 and the line was opened in
1838. When the line to Nottingham and Derby opened in
1840 Rugby became the major junction of the period.
Although the effect on the town was significant, because
of the numbers of railway workers moving here, other
industries were slow to arrive.
The last 30 years has seen another transport lead influx
as Rugby again became an important junction - this time
for the motorway network. This development has been and
continues to be to the north, near the motorways, and
has not affected the town its self. However the decline
of town center industry has ment that many old
industrial sites have been redeveloped, often for
housing.
