I’m starting a new feature on the blog this week. Every Wednesday(ish), I’ll post the top 10 rentals at our stores from the previous week. This is something people have been asking for in order to get ideas on what to rent based on what’s popular with our customers. And although this blog is not a democracy, and I rule it with an iron fist, I think it’s a good idea. So now this is happening.
