Granada's TV Rental Stuff

[Neil Jones]

Back when Granada wasn't absorbed into the ITV behemoth we know today, they were apparently running a TV/video rental service:

Which was apparently so big they expanded from the UK to Canada, and even the US:

(You may act coy, but we all know where that arrowed "G" came from)

Anyone else know of/remember that?

Granada had many fingers in many pies, not just the rental service and the ITV company, as it was a Conglomerate company that did far more than just make Coronation Street. They also owned some motorway service stations as well and had all kinds of weird and wonderful things over the years particularly in the 1960s.

But of course all that's gone now, either in new ownership, new brands or was just closed. IIRC they owned The American Adventure theme park and whatever the other one they owned was. Both ultimately closed for one reason or another.
