The company is relocating its headquarters from Irving, Texas, to Chandler, Arizona — the home of its flagship RideNow location. Leadership states that the move will consolidate corporate and store operations under one roof, thereby reinforcing a unified “one team” culture.

“This change is about more than a new name and ticker symbol — it’s about aligning our corporate identity and our operations with the brand our customers already know. By returning to our roots and strengthening our operations, we are positioning RideNow Group for long-term growth and ensuring our customers enjoy a consistent, exceptional experience.” — Michael Quartieri, CEO of RideNow Group.

At the center of the company’s operational shift is “The RideNow Way,” a new framework built on three pillars: Entrepreneurial Spirit, Customer Experience, and Operational Excellence. COO Cam Tkach says the approach is designed to ensure every dealership delivers the same high level of service and engagement.
