ATLANTA, Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aaron's, Inc.,
(NYSE: AAN), a leader in the sales and lease ownership and
specialty retailing of furniture, consumer electronics, home
appliances and accessories, today announced plans to surprise 11
military families in honor of Veterans
Day with room makeovers. The recipient families will be able
to select the room that Aaron's will fill with furniture,
electronics and appliances.
"We are so excited to surprise these service men and women and
thank them for their commitment to our country in this special
way," said Aaron's Vice President of Marketing Andrea Freeman. "These veterans and their
families have given so much through their service and Aaron's is
proud to give back to these military families to thank them for
their dedication."
Aaron's is teaming up with nonprofits and government agencies
including Fisher House Foundation, United Military Care, Inc. and
the Tennessee National Guard to identify families who will receive
the makeovers. This surprise delivery is made possible through
Aaron's Community Outreach Program (ACORP). ACORP is Aaron's
store-based giving program, established in 1999, where stores earn
funds each month to give back to non-profits in their local
communities.
The makeovers will help kick start "Salute.Serve.Save," Aaron's
new year-round military appreciation program for active and reserve
military members and veterans. Beginning November 11, Aaron's is offering up to
$200 off on a new lease agreement.
Qualified participants will get up to $100 off their first payment and up to
$100 off their last payment. The
offer applies to a new lease agreement open with a lease term of 12
months or longer.
"Aaron's has been a strong supporter of those who serve our
country and this program will show our ongoing appreciation to our
active military and veterans all year long," said Tristan Montanero, Senior Vice President of
Operations, Eastern Division, Aaron's, Inc. "The
'Salute.Serve.Save' program is a great way to thank our military
families for their sacrifices and help them own the life they
want."
In addition, active military and veterans will also receive 10
percent off all payments on their new lease agreement. Customers
who show valid documentation that they are currently serving or
have served in the military can participate in the
"Salute.Serve.Save" program when they open a new lease agreement.
This special program is also available to military
spouses.
Customers must visit their local Aaron's store to take advantage
of the program. This offer is currently not available online at
www.Aarons.com. To find an Aaron's store, visit www.Aarons.com.
