Johnny Hagin
Happy's Rent To Own

First and foremost I want to say I love this store and all the employees that work there. Big shout out to Omar! I have been working with him for over 6 months and has never let me down. He has worked with me when i was down and most recently due to Helen my couch was destroyed and he processed a claim for me and assured me everyday he was checking the status etc. Claim was approved and he allowed me to get a replacement that I wanted. Omar is the man and he cares about all his customers! I left RAC and Aarons because of Omar. Not only that they have great inventory at fair prices, fast delivery and will try to make your date happen! The delivery guys are Awsome too! Fast, friendly and hard working! They all deserve raises and new incentives! Maybe owners can throw them a pizza party too! Thanks guys!!!
