Tint World® Expands to Carmel with Multi-Unit Development Plan

Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers announced the grand opening of its newest store in Carmel, Indiana, bringing premium automotive styling, protection, and performance services to one of the state's most dynamic suburban markets. The location at 9700 Lakeshore Dr E, Ste. 1 will celebrate its official grand opening on Saturday, November 8, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Carmel location offers a full range of Tint World®'s signature services, including window tinting, paint protection film (PPF), vinyl wraps, detailing, mobile electronics, remote starts, and ceramic coatings, positioning it as a one-stop destination for both automotive enthusiasts and everyday drivers across Carmel and the greater Indianapolis suburbs.

Owned and operated by seasoned franchise entrepreneurs Ron Huling and Barney Storrs, the Carmel location represents the first of several stores planned under their multi-unit development agreement, which includes Zionsville and Noblesville, with discussions underway for further expansion in northern Indiana and Michigan. The 7,500-square-foot facility marks a significant investment in the local automotive services market. Veterans of the franchise world, Huling and Storrs bring more than 40 years of experience in multi-unit operations, having previously owned and managed more than a dozen Planet Fitness locations across multiple states before selling their fitness portfolio in 2022.

From enhancing the looks and comfort of family vehicles to outfitting luxury cars and supporting local dealerships and fleets, Tint World brings something for everyone in Carmel." The business is already developing partnerships with local dealerships, including Tom Wood Porsche, Penske Honda/Chevrolet, and Penske Collision Center, and plans to expand into fleet wrapping and municipal service work for local fire and police departments.

To celebrate its grand opening, Tint World® Carmel, IN will host a community event featuring 20% off all services, free ceramic coating with the purchase of a Supreme or Ultimate paint protection film package, raffle giveaways including two $500 gift cards and a full interior/exterior detailing package, vendor displays, merchandise giveaways, free food and drinks, a classic car show, balloon artist for kids, and a donation drive benefiting the local Humane Society.
