HATBORO WELCOMES AARON'S

The Greater Hatboro Chamber of Commerce welcomed Aaron's, Inc. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, November 17. Business owners, as well as local and county officials, gathered to celebrate the grand opening.

Aaron's, a national lease-to-own retailer, is located at 317 South York Road in Hatboro and will initially have six employees to assist customers as they navigate through a wide selection of computers, flat screen televisions, appliances, furniture, complete dining and living room sets, and accessories.

Tommy Pettway, the general manager of the Hatboro location says, "Aaron's is committed to providing great customer service and quality products. Our payment program is an affordable and flexible alternative for purchasing everyday living necessities. For example, our lease-to-own option will enable folks to provide their children with computers for school, with monthly payments instead of an expensive one-time outlay of cash. Aaron's does not require credit checks for their payment program, just good, solid references."

The corporation has more than 2,009 company-operated and franchised stores in 48 states and Canada. Founded in 1955, by entrepreneur and Chairman Emeritus R.
