ATLANTA, June 12, 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," presented
Rosa Serna, the second winner of the
"Win a Room in June" contest, with a brand new living room group on
the set of The Wendy Williams Show this week.
Rosa Serna and her husband
received round-trip air transportation to New York to
attend a taping of "The Wendy Williams Show," hotel
accommodations for one night and ground transportation to the show.
Serna was thrilled when Wendy
Williams announced on the show that she was the winner of
the "Win a Room in June" Living Room group. Wendy Williams invited Serna onstage to see her
brand new living room group featuring a Woodhaven Central Park
Living Room Furniture Collection and an electronics entertainment
package.
Serna, a San Antonio resident,
and her husband have been married for almost six years and have
three young boys all under the age of 5. The couple moved into
their new home a year ago but has been unable to furnish it due to
raising three children on a tight budget. Serna and her husband
will be able to relax and spend time with their children on their
new eight-piece Woodhaven Central Park Living Room Collection which
includes a sofa, loveseat, cocktail table, two end tables, a
decorative rug and lamps.
The new living room will be entertainment-ready with a new
RCA® 65" Smart LED TV complete with 65" TV Stand,
Philips® 1000 Watt 3D Blu Ray Smart Home Theater System,
Samsung® 3400W Giga System, and a Samsung®
Galaxy Note 10" Wifi Tablet. The family will also receive a
Recliner Rocker with Frosty Fridge. The Recliner Rocker features a
massage function, adding an additional level of comfort, alongside
a frosty fridge that keeps up to four drinks cool for hours.
"We're so excited to present the Serna family with this amazing
new living room group that will provide both a comfortable and
entertaining atmosphere for Rosa and her family," said Andrea Freeman, Aaron's Vice President of
Marketing. "We have a great partnership with 'The Wendy Williams
Show' and are thrilled to bring these four room giveaway
opportunities to thousands of the show's fans across the country.
As we give away a new room each week in June, we're helping others
own the life they want."
The Sernas were chosen out of more than 14,500 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

Wendy presented our first week's winner, Renea Harrington, with her tech-ready Master
Bedroom, interest in the contest spiked. We're thrilled to

Serna, with another fabulous room giveaway from our friends
