Mr Rental achieves 60 store milestone

by Mr Rental Franchising Pty Ltd

Household appliance hire franchise, Mr Rental , has recently opened its 60th store.

The household appliance hire franchise is located in Moonah Tasmania and is the first Mr Rental store to open in that state. Sandy and Glenn Travers are the franchisees of this milestone store.

Glen and Kerrianne Hickman founded the household appliance rental franchise group in 1991 on Bribie Island, just an hour north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

They started renting appliances such as VCRs and TVs from their video library store and soon realised that they made more from appliance rentals than video rentals. They sold the video store and opened Mr Rental.

For ten years the husband and wife team built their business in their local community, developing and optimising their household appliance rental systems. In 2001 they started franchising, with a vision for the Mr Rental household appliance hire franchise to become ‘the world’s first choice in home appliance renting’.

Within two years they had over 30 house hold appliance stores Australia wide and in New Zealand, growing to 60 stores today.

Attracting franchisees that are impressed by the strong family culture and lifestyle balance of the organisation, the household appliance hire franchise is also the Franchise Council of Australia’s 2008 Emerging Franchise System of the Year.

“Renting is an attractive option for families looking to maximise their cashflow by not having to purchase big ticket items outright, while ensuring they’re not denying their family’s basic needs,” Mr Rental General Manager, Alan Payne, said.

“Our franchisees supply fridges, TV’s, washers, dryers, televisions, sound systems, game consoles and even furniture within 24 hours and look after any repairs or issues with any of the appliances,” says Mr Rental General Manager, Alan Payne.

“Reaching 60 stores is a very special and remarkable milestone for us, and I am blessed to be working with an incredibly supportive and talented network of franchisees, who have shared my vision and helped make this achievement a reality,” Mr Hickman said.
