Google This location deserves no stars. They lie and say they’ll work with you and then when you ask for help or something they won’t work with you. The manager is rude and argues with you and lacks serious customer service skills. First and last time I’ll ever purchase from here. Will not recommend to anyone I know.

Management here is horrible, best bet is to hit the laundry mat until you save enough to buy outright somewhere else.

I applied online, got approved for $2,000, made the 1st week's payment, and got a confirmation email, only for me to get a call telling me that i am only approved for appliance and furniture and i was trying to get a game console for my sons Christmas. Guess Ill try elsewhere. smh.

When I couldn't pay my rental obligations..I was able to tell them my circumstances and they were able to assist me with my needs .They also helped with my account so I was able to keep my items and not lose them. They were very understanding and didn't make me feel like I was just a number but a person .I'm glad they were there for me when I needed them the most..
