About DVDNow Kiosks, Inc.

Finally the way that consumers rent movies has been revolutionized! Convenience will now replace size as the days of the giant rental stores are numbered. Today's busy consumer demands convenience above all else and, just as ATMs are the most innovative development in the history of banking, our automated DVD rental terminals are the logical step in the evolution of traditional video stores. Automated DVD rental terminals have taken the European market by storm with it now being virtually impossible to find a traditional video store. In the United States the automated DVD rental kiosk industry is in its infancy with terminals only now beginning to appear as a result of several massive deployments by multi-million dollar companies into fast food, grocery, and convenience store chains.
