DVDNow Kiosk Franchise Opportunity

Talk about a recession-proof franchise opportunity! Franchise a DVD rental kiosk from DVDNow. The worse the economy, the more people like to watch movies at home because renting DVDs is much cheaper than going out to a movie.

Also, people are more likely to rent a DVD when it’s convenient like in a grocery store or a mall or some place they would already go. That’s where DVD kiosks step in! With each kiosk, customers can browse through movie titles and even watch movie trailers! And, a majority of movies from DVDNow are new releases.
