The woman manager that I spoke to today was so rude!! I informed her I was unable to make my payment on time but I would be able to make a payment in 4 days so my payment would literally be 5 days late and instead of being even a little respectable or professional...she was immediately so rude about it.... Horrible customer service... She definitely does not need to be a manager...I was extremely shocked at her immediate response about what I was telling her... Informing me they can't wait for my payment in a kind-hearted respectful manner would be one thing! I understand that they can't accept my payment late that's not the issue! but being as cold-hearted and disrespectful and rude about it as she was is just ridiculous if you're going to have a store manager you should make sure they're good with your customers someone who's professional, kind, and respectable... someone who knows what they're doing!!!

Kim helped us find the dryer to match the washer we had previously purchased thru RAC. Whenever I need or want something Kim does what she can to find what I'm looking for at an amazing deal.

Journey begins with God

This place is awesome they are good for rent to own so if you need furniture appliances electronics like game systems computers TVs they're really great to rent from and they will work with you when something happens so make sure you purchase the insurance option. Great people great environment and just overall are really great experience.
