• As seen in this clip, Rena's rented records for $2.50 each or five for $10. By comparison, the retail price of a record at the time ranged from $3.99 for a single LP to "$15 or $16 for a Bruce Springsteen double album, which is way too much," owner Brian Nancoff told the Toronto Star.

• Rena's record store also sold records, but rentals outnumbered sales five to one, Nancoff told the Globe and Mail. He also said he was setting aside a portion of every rental fee to pay artists. But Cyril Devereaux of the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights agency, which was the only group tasked with collecting and distributing royalties, said they had received no such payments.

• As of December 1982, there were nine outlets of Rena Rent-a-Record in Canada and 11 more in the United States. Nancoff planned to open up to 100 more, according to Billboard magazine.
