Agree with your interpretation of the words except for 摊, which is a noun that indicates the place of buying-selling goods, such as 地攤 (a street vendor) or 報攤 (a newspaper booth/stand).

Again, rearranged grammatically:

* Following the popularity of comic books, comic book stands/booths that engage in the book rental business have emerged.
