Lyn Leach

Lyn Leach is the founder and President of Ace Rent to Own, a locally owned and operated RTO company he launched in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1982. Over more than four decades, Lyn has grown Ace into a 24-store operation serving communities across Nebraska and Iowa. A Nebraska native and former APRO President, Lyn has been one of the industry's most respected independent operators and advocates. His commitment to integrity and customer-first business practices earned Ace the prestigious BBB Integrity Award in 2017 — the most distinguished recognition the Better Business Bureau bestows. Lyn has expressed hope that Ace's recognition will inspire other RTO companies to pursue similar recognition, demonstrating the industry's broader commitment to ethical business. Today, Ace remains a family business, with his son Ben Leach serving as COO.
