Overview
Rent-A-Center (RAC) wants its customers to rent while it buys. The firm became the #1 rent-to-own chain nationwide through a string of acquisitions. It owns and operates more than 3,000 stores in North America and Puerto Rico under the Rent-A-Center, Get It Now, and Home Choice names, and franchises some 220 through subsidiary ColorTyme. The stores rent name-brand home electronics, furniture, accessories, appliances, and computers. While customers have the option to eventually own their rented items, only about 25% ever do.
