HOUSTON, Texas -- Texas has emerged as one of the most significant geographic markets for DVD rental kiosks with the recent expansion by TNR Entertainment Corp., the nation's largest owner and operator of DVD rental kiosks in supermarkets and grocery stores operating under The New Release brand.
The company recently announced that it has completed the installation of an additional 51 automated DVD rental kiosks at high traffic grocery stores throughout Texas. The new agreement with a major food retailer, part of TNR's ongoing aggressive expansion program nationwide, increases TNR's installed base to nearly 400 kiosks in Texas and makes the state one of the Company's largest single geographic markets.
"This new agreement will enable TNR to introduce even more customers in Texas - our home base - to the convenience and value afforded by the DVD kiosk rental concept," stated Jeff Karbowiak, COO of TNR Entertainment.
The new kiosks are located throughout central and southern Texas in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Laredo, Waco and surrounding areas.
TNR has served nearly 1.3 million customers and rented more than 9 million DVDs since its inception in 2002. The privately-held company, based in Houston, dominates the self-service DVD rental category in the grocery channel. TNR currently has more than 1,300 locations across the country in such grocery chains as A&P, Dillon's, Food-4-Less, Food Lion, Fry's, H-E-B, Kroger, King Soopers, Publix, Quality Food Centers, Ralph's, Roundy's/Pick 'N Save, and Spartan/Family Fare.
