Tint World® Automotive Styling Centers™, a leading auto accessory and window tinting franchise, announced the grand opening of its newest store in Carmel, Indiana. Owned and operated by seasoned franchise entrepreneurs Ron Huling & Barney Storrs, Tint World® Carmel, IN brings 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.  

Veterans of the franchise world, Huling & Storrs bring more than 40 years of experience in multi-unit operations. They, both former Planet Fitness franchise leaders, have owned and managed more than a dozen fitness centers across multiple states. After selling their fitness portfolio in 2022, they sought a new opportunity that combined growth potential, lifestyle balance, and trusted brand support – and Tint World® stood out.  

“When we discovered Tint World®, it immediately felt like the perfect fit for Carmel,” said Barney Storrs, owner of Tint World® Carmel, IN. “This community values quality, innovation, and local businesses that really care about their customers, and that’s what Tint World delivers. 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. It’s a brand that combines small-town service with big-brand expertise, and we’re excited to bring that to our neighbors.” 

The 7,500-square-foot facility marks the first of several stores Storrs and Huling plan to open under their multi-unit development agreement, which includes Zionsville and Noblesville, with discussions underway for further expansion in northern Indiana and Michigan.
