What Customers Are Saying

Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Louisville.

Overall amazing experience! Customer service is top tier. Chris took great care of me throughout the entire process. The store I visited did not have what I was looking for in stock, but Chris went about and beyond by taking the time to help me locate exactly what I wanted and got it ordered it for me. Johnny was amazing as well by keeping me informed on expected arrival and delivery dates when I called. Communication was perfect! The delivery was faster than I expected. The team who delivered my purchase was nothing short of amazing. Extremely personable and attentive, making sure to clean up any mess that resulted from unboxing a new product. Could not have asked for a better experience, let alone such a high quality product, at an affordable price. 10/10 would recommend!

Jessica is amazing! Not only does her hair smell fANTASTIC.. her customer service is well above and beyond any expectations I had before coming in. The delivery men Brian & Leon were just as great had my furniture in the house & my tables built in a flash. with all that said I truly didn’t think I’d be approved due to my credit & came to find out no credit was needed. I’m overly joyed with being able to purchase new furniture!! The fact that my brand new couches, tables, lamps & area rug are beautiful & well made is perfect!! I look forward to being a Champions faithful customer ;) ;)

I’d like to recognize Johnny, the sales manager, for outstanding service. He guided me through the leasing options for a couch and TV, answered all my questions, and ensured I felt confident with the process. His professionalism, honesty, and customer care made the experience excellent.
