“ I have been in the military about a year and a half
and have been a customer of Aaron’s for six months.
I needed some furniture and found bedroom and
living room furniture I liked at Aaron’s. They have
been good to work with. Recently, payroll in my
company was messed up, and Aaron’s worked
with me until my paycheck arrived.”

“ Columbus, Georgia, and Phenix City, Alabama, are
virtually one market. There are a number of large
employers in the region, including AFLAC, Total Systems
and Pratt & Whitney. Fort Benning is the single largest
employer, and we have quite a few customers who are
stationed there or who work there. We have quite a few
computers on lease to deployed military personnel. They
want to be able to stay in touch with their families.
M o s t customers come to us first for sofas and chairs
or electronics. The customers in this store tend to be
younger families — most are 25-30 years old. I grew up
in Columbus and have lived here most of my life except
for college and opening a store for Aaron’s in Albany,
Georgia. I know my customers and know this market.”
— John Alexander, General Manager, Store F009
