Rent-A-Center Inc. is a multifaceted retailer which bases its mission on the proposition of offering its customers an opportunity to obtain quality necessities, primarily furniture and electronics, on a rent-to-own basis. This focuses on consumers with financial or credit restrictions who seek to modestly enjoy the American way of life within their means.
Rent-A-Center offers customers an option to try a product on an affordable rental basis.
They then have the options to upgrade or change to a newer model with little additional financial stress. The customer always has the choice to save money in the long run and arrange to purchase products outright. Rent-A-Center offers free service and delivery with no down payment or credit report required.
Since the company’s founding in 1986, the company has grown from a base of 16 stores to an ever growing cadre covering the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico. As listed in Chain Store Guide’s proprietary database, the company operates through several trade names, based on offerings, nationality and a number of acquisitions through the years.
