Rent-A-Center prides itself on giving customers a more affordable way to purchase new things for their homes. In recent years, the company expanded into smartphones and other types of hand-held electronics, including tablets and video game systems. Rent-A-Center believes in giving back to the community through various charitable acts, including donations to soup kitchens and encouraging employees to dedicate their time to other organizations. The chain also offers special pricing on certain items and lets customers make small payments to rent items or towards buying those same items.

History of Rent-A-Center

The first Rent-A-Center opened more than three decades ago as one of the only shops that let customers finance items for their homes. There are now more than 3,000 shops in the chain across the country, including one in every state. Those stores report earnings of more than $3 billion every year, and this figure has grown every year since the first store opened. Rent-A-Center gives its franchise owners a high level of training and support.
