ATLANTA, June 19, 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 its
third "Win a Room in June" contestant, Jacqueline Wilson, from Otisville, NY, with a new dining, kitchen and
laundry room set as a part of the "Win a Room in June" contest.
With three men in her home –her husband of 26 years and two
adult sons – Wilson is in desperate need of new appliances. She's
attempted to cook meals on an outdated stove that has only three
burners, broken knobs and an oven door that sticks. Currently
without a dining room table, her family cannot share meals
comfortably together. The new dining, kitchen, laundry room set
includes a Frigidaire® Stainless Steel Range,
Maytag® 22 cu. ft. French Door Stainless Steel
Refrigerator and a five-piece Avenue Dining Room Set, crafted with
design and dining comfort. To complete the full dining, kitchen and
laundry room set, Wilson will also receive a, high-efficiency
Samsung® Top Load Washer and a Samsung®
Dryer.
"It's been such a rewarding experience to be able to give these
winners and their families a fresh, new home environment," said
Andrea Freeman, Aaron's Vice
President of Marketing. "We're so happy we can be a part of helping
Jacqueline and her family create new memories around the dinner
table. We wouldn't be able to do this without our partnership with
'The Wendy Williams Show,' which represents the Aaron's promise to
help families own the life they want."
In addition to the room makeovers, Wilson 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.
Prior to awarding Wilson the new dining, kitchen and laundry
room set, Aaron's gave away a tech-ready bedroom and a living room
set with an electronics entertainment package to two other winners
on "The Wendy Williams Show." The last winner will receive new
furniture and electronics for two kids' bedrooms provided
by Aaron's.
Wilson was chosen out of more than 16,500 families who entered
the contest at http://community.wendyshow.com/aarons.
Karen Bonck, Senior Vice
President of Branded Partnerships for Debmar-Mercury, which
syndicates and distributes "The Wendy Williams Show," added, "The
show reviewed thousands of entrants for this week's giveaway and
choosing a winner was no simple task, but the heartwarming Wilson
entry rose to the top. I can't believe we only have one more room
giveaway—it's been an exciting June thanks to our friends at
Aaron's!"
Aaron's makes owning easy through lease ownership and the
room makeovers will enable the deserving weekly winners to own the
life they want.
