ATLANTA, June 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aaron's, Inc.,
(NYSE: AAN), a leading lease-to-own specialty retailer that offers
flexible payment options for furniture, electronics and appliances,
in partnership with "The Wendy Williams Show," surprised
Philadelphia resident Renea Harrington and her family with a brand new
tech-ready bedroom suite as a part of the second annual "Win a Room
in June" contest.
The Harrington couple is the first of four deserving families to
receive a "Win a Room in June" contest prize package. The contest
will continue for the remainder of June with three additional
winners receiving room makeovers for their Living Room,
Dining/Kitchen/Laundry Room and Kids' Bedrooms.
Harrington and her husband have been married for six years, have
two daughters and they are expecting a baby in July. The
couple moved into their home in September
2014 and have focused their extra income on their family
instead of on purchasing furniture for themselves. Now the
couple will have a place to relax after a long day of work. Their
new Ian Bedroom group includes a queen bed, dresser, mirror, chest,
and nightstand, all in a rich, espresso finish with silver
burnished bar pull hardware and raised bases on slim feet.
The Harrington family will receive a new Simmons Beautyrest®
Brisben II Mattress, and their bedroom will be tech-ready with a
LG® 50" Smart LED TV, a LG® 300W Wireless Soundbar and a Dell® 11"
Touchscreen 2 in 1 Laptop.
"We're so excited to work with The Wendy Williams Show again and
provide deserving families with these amazing rooms for their
homes," said Andrea Freeman, Aaron's
Vice President of Marketing. "At Aaron's, we are focused on helping
our customers own the life they want and we believe this
partnership with Wendy Williams is
an exciting event helping her fans learn more about this empowering
message."
The Harringtons were chosen out of more than 9,000 families who
entered the contest at http://community.wendyshow.com/aarons, which
runs through Friday, June 12.
Karen Bonck, Senior Vice
President of Branded Partnerships for Debmar-Mercury, which
syndicates and distributes "The Wendy Williams Show," added, "We
reviewed thousands of entrants and Renea
Harrington really stole our hearts with her story of
dedication to her family. We can't wait to surprise the other three
deserving winners."
Aaron's makes owning easy through lease ownership and the
room makeovers will enable the deserving weekly winners to own the
life they want.
In addition to the room makeovers, the Harringtons received
round-trip air transportation for two to New York to
attend a taping of "The Wendy Williams Show," hotel
accommodations for one night and ground transportation to the
show.
