Inside Rent-A-Center

What you can rent here

Launched in 1973 in Wichita, Kansas, it was the first national chain to scale the rent-to-own model, building standardized showrooms stocked with new, name-brand merchandise. Stores carry furniture, appliances, electronics, computers, mattresses, gaming, and smartphones on flexible weekly or monthly lease agreements, and like most rent-to-own stores they typically do not require a traditional credit check. Rent-A-Center holds a 4-star Google rating across more than 152,000 reviews. Compare Rent-A-Center on VRTO alongside other rent-to-own stores near you, with hours, ratings, and what each carries.

I always buy new furniture from my local store however Lawrence is the new store for us and I couldn't be happier with the employees and specifically the one that helped me purchased my furniture. You all went above and beyond and I appreciate you so much and would recommend anyone to rent from you or purchase furniture! Thank you again it was a pleasure speaking with you.

Terrible customer service. The people on the phones are slow and don’t know anything. The whole store management is disorganized. And when they can’t help you they become rude
