You must have seen  RedBox lately in your neighborhood.  RedBox is a movie rental machine that you slide your credit card to dispense a DVD that you select. No contracts, no late fees, just $1 a night. It is as simple as this, if you run home, watch it and return it 2 hours later, the movie is just $1. The process of signing up with Redbox is simply too; pick a movie, swipe your credit card, and entered your email account.  If you are late over 25 days, they will charge you a dollar a day, but after the 25th day you keep the dvd.

A lot of people like the idea of this business because it doesn’t require any employee to look after the machines.  People are constantly asking if the company give out franchise.  Unfortunately, the company (CoinStar) doesn’t franchise but I’ve found a couple other companies that do such as DvD Now Kiosk. Just seems like a great idea depending on price, etc. It It would be a great idea for apartment complex owners. Put one of these in the laundry room and make some extra revenue and have it serve as a nice amenity for your perspective tenants.

As of the moment, the only way you could have a piece of the pie of RedBox is to buy the company stocks. It is a public traded company under the name Stock symbol: CSTR.  The other way is if you own a business that have about 15,000  people walking in and out of the business per week, then RedBox will consider your business for its next location.
