Lee runs this store the way, I imagine, corporate would call perfect. Any question or issue you have him and the rest of the team will address super quickly. He really does go well above and beyond to establish & maintain great relationships and help the customer with anything he can. Everyone there deserves the 5 star rating and Lee deserves a 5 star personal review, too. Highly recommend this store if you're in the market. Thanks for everything!

Rent-A-Center

I now own multiple items from the store and I have to tell you. It’s the best rental experience I’ve ever had the manager Lee and a customer service agent named Bruce are the most flexible and understanding people that I’ve ever met in this type of business they’ve helped me multiple weeks where I haven’t been able to afford the payment due to unexpected Circumstances, all I had to do was call and explain and they literally waived the payments for those weeks. They do everything they can to make sure that you end up owning their products. great company! highly recommend!!!!!!oh yeah!!! This message is for Lee directly! Bruce is always pleasant and helpful! Goes above and beyond! That man should get a raise!!!
