Inside Rent-A-Center

What you can rent here

Rent-A-Center is a national rent-to-own chain with 1,948 stores across all 50 states, reaching communities from Lawrence, Massachusetts and Kissimmee, Florida to Harlingen, Texas and Booneville, Mississippi. 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.

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
