 rogers plus was a brand name for the retail operations of rogers communications. it was formed in early 2007 from the merger of the rogers wireless chain of telecommunications stores previously operated by intertan under licence from rogers, and the company-owned rogers video chain of video rental stores. rogers retired the rogers video and rogers wireless brand names from its stores and re-branded them as rogers plus. it operated over 300 stores. rogers stores also provided sales and service for cable television, internet, home phone service and wireless phone service in markets where they offer these services. ==history== thumb|left|the interior of a rogers plus video rental shop in april 2012. ===1980s to 1990s: inception, acquisitions and expansion=== rogers video was established in 1988. the company's operations grew considerably in the 1990s through take-overs of smaller, local chains. for example, in saskatchewan and manitoba, rogers took over eight stores from tvs video superstore and family video (not to be confused with the saskatoon-based family video chain that became vhq) chains.  such acquisitions allowed rogers video to gain the title of the fifth largest video rental shop chain in north america until its discontinuation. in the country's national capital region, which mainly consists of ottawa, the rental chain agreed to provide services in both english and french. rogers video also received multiple "canadian retailer of the year" awards in that decade and the next to come. =
