Company release dated July 29; reposted by Ziebart July 30. The signing date was not specified.

Ziebart reported a signed agreement to convert an existing Rhino Linings business in West Creek, New Jersey, into a Ziebart location. The company identified the operator as Jim Sutter in its July 2026 update.

The announcement described a future conversion. It did not establish that the converted location had opened, and this report does not confirm a subsequent opening date.

For someone considering a conversion, the practical question is what must change in an existing business: services, equipment, signage, staffing and contractual commitments. Ask for the conversion-specific requirements rather than assuming a new-store package applies.

Based on the company’s published announcement; not independent verification of the underlying transaction or operating results.
