Went in to look around for some New furniture for my Apartment.. The Ladies There was very helpful and patient with me. As an older person Sometimes it takes me a little longer than the young folks. The Sales manager showed me around and answered all the questions I had. She is very knowledgeable. We picked out a furniture set that will be perfect for my new place . Once I get moved I will back to get my order started Thanks Angie and the other Lady

I have bought a lot of great stuff from here over many years. I am going to miss Gordon. I will be back soon. I need to meet the new manager Hope.

If you need a miracle at Rent-A-Center, ask for Iris. She is currently helping me replace a broken washing machine. Then, as if that isn’t enough, she has worked her magic and got me my dream couch. Iris isn’t just a salesperson; she’s a legend. Quick, helpful, and somehow is going to make my living room look like it belongs in a magazine. Someone get this girl a raise—or a cape! 10/10 would recommend. Superwoman!
