Founders Joe and Sadie Kuluva

For 3 generations and nearly 100 years, our family has been providing our friends and neighbors in Greater Kansas City with fine furniture, appliances and home electronics.

Rental City had its origin in 1912 when Joe and Sadie Kuluva opened their first store. They sold clothing and shoes to the hard working people in the meat packing houses and the stockyards of Kansas City. Their goal then was to enable working families to buy and wear durable yet styish clothing with a payment plan that fit their budget. Their loyal customers made weekly or monthly payments and enjoyed wearing fine quality clothes to work, school and church. As the years went on, Kuluva's expanded and offered their customers furniture for their homes, then electrical appliances, and then radio and television sets.

In 1991, the Kuluva family opened the first Rental City store. Our philosophy is still the same: Enable the good, hardworking folks of Kansas City to enjoy the comforts and conveniences they want and deserve with a  payment plan that fits their budget.

At Rental City, we treat our customers like no national chain store can. We, the owners, live right here in KC and work in the stores. We are there to make sure you are treated the way we would want to be treated. Come into a Rental City store near you and see the difference.
