 PROFILE
Its customers mostly rent, but Rent-Way itself does plenty of purchasing. Since becoming a public company in 1993, Rent-Way has grown from 19 stores into the nation's second-largest rent-to-own chain (behind Rent-A-Center) through acquisitions. It now has about 1,100 stores in 41 states. Operating under the Rent-Way and Home Choice banners, the stores offer home entertainment equipment such as TVs and stereos, furniture, jewelry, and major appliances on a week-to-week or month-to-month rental basis to consumers who can't or won't buy outright. At the end of the rental period, customers may opt to purchase the item. Rent-Way is scrambling to recover from an accounting scandal that saw its stock price plummet in 2000.
