Restructuring Charge [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	Note P — Restructuring Charges During the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $1.4 million in connection with the November 2011 acquisition of 58 rent-to-own stores, primarily related to post-acquisition lease terminations. As of December 31, 2011, we expect to use approximately $1.1 million of cash on hand for future payments, which primarily relate to lease obligations. We expect the lease obligations will be substantially completed in 18 to 24 months, with total completion no later than the second quarter of 2017. During the third quarter of 2011, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $7.6 million related to the closure of eight Home Choice stores in Illinois and 24 RAC Limited locations within third party grocery stores, all of which had been operated on a test basis, as well as the closure of 26 core rent-to-own stores following the sale of all customer accounts at those locations. The charge with respect to these closings related primarily to lease terminations, fixed asset disposals, and other miscellaneous items. As of December 31, 2011, we expect to use approximately $3.8 million of cash on hand for future payments, which primarily relate to lease obligations. We expect the lease obligations will be substantially completed in 18 to 24 months, with total completion no later than the second quarter of 2016. During the second quarter of 2011, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $4.9 million in connection with the December 2010 acquisition of The Rental Store, Inc. This charge related to post-acquisition lease terminations. As of December 31, 2011, we expect to use approximately $2.1 million of cash on hand for future payments. We expect the lease obligations will be substantially completed in 18 to 24 months, with total completion no later than the fourth quarter of 2017.
