is rent a center and acceptance now the same
Rent-A-Center The Rent-A-Center company converted its Wisconsin stores to Get-It-Now! credit sale outlets after a judicial decision held that the stateâ€™s consumer protection laws defining credit sales included rent-to-own businesses.[48][49] Rent-A-Center is also known as Acceptance Now within its partner stores in the US in which it has kiosks. Rent-A-Center also goes by Home Choice in Minnesota, by Rent-A-Centre in Canada and by Rent-A-Center in Mexico.
XL Center As originally built in 1975, it seated 10,507 for hockey, and served as the home of the thenâ€“New England Whalers for three years. In the early morning of January 18, 1978, just hours after the University of Connecticut Men's Basketball team defeated the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the weight of snow from the day's heavy snowstorm and a faulty roof design caused the Civic Center roof to collapse.[10] There were no injuries. The building was heavily renovated and re-opened January 17, 1980.
