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.

Wish I could leave zero stars!! Walked in today browsing with an idea of getting a new tv , The store manager Danielle was on her phone instead of assisting me with no sense of a customer being there !! She proceeded to act like I wasn’t there and carried on a conversation with a worker in the store my husband over heard a few of unprofessional words she was sharing with Erica I believe. This however isn’t the first time we’ve had issues with Erica our son rented with rent a center missed one payment and she was cussing and arguing with him about taking stuff back my son has never made a late payment prior to that. Over the phone the store manager handled the situation , so I came in having high hopes for her , wish things turned out differently but now I see that whole store needs new staff !

Came in to take advantage of a promotion got told the promotion was for a 75” tv instead of the listed 65”, then they said they had to deliver it and then I got asked by the heavy set girl “why are you in such a rush to get it” when I wasn’t even her customer I was dealing with another employee. The heavy set girl was extremely rude and seemed like she didn’t want our business so we left
