Dale, Samuel, Martell, Joe, and the team here is phenomenal. We’ve been customers since the Lifestyle era’ and it’s been a great experience since Day: 1. We have two iPhones through them, a stereo set, TV & TV Stand, and today (11/20/25) Dale got us into a gorgeous living room furniture set with the couch, loveseat, area rug, end tables, coffee table, and lamps at such a fantastic price! We love it here, and we are treated like family and not just a customer like Rent A Center and Aaron’s treat you. Anytime we’ve ever needed anything they’ve been fantastic to assist or even answer our questions. I would highly recommend them over RAC & Aarons any day! Great merchandise, great prices, and the staff is wonderful. Thank you, Dale and the team for being so awesome and getting us great merchandise at great prices!!!
