Buddy's Home Furnishings

Buddy's Home Furnishings is the fastest-growing rent-to-own franchise in America, offering a flexible and affordable path for customers to access high-quality furniture, electronics, appliances, and more. Founded in 1961 and franchising since 2009, Buddy’s has grown to over 300 locations nationwide, driven by a proven model, recession-resilient demand, and strong unit-level economics.

Our franchise opportunity is built on simplicity and scalability. With low overhead, no inventory risk (thanks to our consignment model), and centralized vendor relationships, franchisees can focus on driving revenue and building community relationships. Whether you're looking to expand with one store or build a multi-unit portfolio, Buddy’s provides the support and infrastructure to help you grow.

Buddy’s has been recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 and ranked among the Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners, as well as earning a spot on the Franchise Times Top 400 for the last four consecutive years. In fact, 86% of Buddy’s franchisees own multiple units, a testament to our brand’s scalability and franchisee satisfaction.
