MINNEAPOLIS — The big red vending machine at the McDonald’s whirrs and hums and spits out rental DVDs of Chicken Little and King Kong _ and maybe, if McDonald’s is lucky, profits.
Machines run by McDonald’s Corp. subsidiary Redbox Automated Retail have popped up in hundreds of Golden Arches restaurants in six cities in an experiment to see whether they drive more customers into the stores. Rental chain Movie Gallery is experimenting with DVD rental machines, too, saying the machines will make rental transactions easier for customers and make its stores more efficient.The spread of DVD rental machines comes as rental stores are struggling under a business model that hasn’t changed much from the mom-and-pop video stores of 20 years ago. The rental business has suffered from the sale of cheap DVDs, rent-by-mail services like Netflix Inc., and expanding video-on-demand from cable companies.
“We think it’s a tremendous opportunity,” said Greg Waring, Redbox’s vice president of marketing.

For all those asking about the Redbox franchise:
Redbox is not a franchise. The Redbox company is jointly owned by Coinstar and McDonalds. Redbox deploys and operates all the kiosks itself.

For those asking HOW TO BUY and invest into a Redbox DVD Kiok:
Redbox LLC does not sell its DVD kiosks to 3rd parties. It places them corporately into various major retailers and operates them directly to consumers.
However the DVD Kiosk industry has grown very rapidly in the last 2 years; and includes additional major companies who operate advanced DVD Kiosks like Redbox inside many Supermarkets, Mass retailers, etc.
Small investors can now buy DVD Kiosk solutions from a few companies like:
