We offer a growing and under-served market the opportunity to use or own necessities that they might otherwise only dream about such as quality furniture, name-brand appliances, high-tech electronics and state-of-the-art computers.

We give our customers three reasons to shop at Aaron’s: everyone is 1) preapproved, 2) has a low price guarantee, and 3) can own the merchandise in as little as 12 months. We give our franchisees a proven business model built on an NYSE listed (RNT) company with over $1 billion dollars in system wide revenue and a 49-year enviable track record. With over 1,000 stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, Aaron’s is ranked 61 among franchise chains in worldwide revenues.

We give our employees a work environment that rivals any retail concept. At Aaron’s, our hours are typically Monday through Friday 10-7 p.m. and Saturday 9-6 p.m. Our average ticket is over $130 dollars (quite a jump from your fast food average of less than $10 dollars.) Best of all, it only takes 6-9 employees to operate an Aaron’s franchise.

"I founded this business in 1955, renting folding chairs to auction houses for $.10 cents a day. Today, Aaron Rents, Inc. is the recognized leader in the sales and lease ownership industry with over $1 billion dollars in system wide revenues.

From the beginning, we set out to distinguish and differentiate our products and services from the traditional rent-to-own business. So when we decided to accelerate the expansion pace of our Sales and Lease Ownership division in 1992, we did not enter into franchising lightly. With our reputation, integrity and sense of innovation at stake, we began offering Aaron’s Sales and Leasing franchises to people who shared our passion for success.

I’m proud to say that our unique franchise program has attracted a variety of experienced business professionals including former executives in banking, broadcast, multi-unit restaurant operations, technology and manufacturing.

Together we’ve enjoyed great rewards—both financially and personally. It all goes back to the “Aaron’s Promise” we make to our customers:

To provide:
- The highest level of service
- The largest selection of name-brand products, and
- The guaranteed lowest price

We’re planning more expansion into prime, new locations where you can capture a growing share of this explosive market. So don’t be left behind. If you qualify, now is the time to join our Aaron’s franchise team."-Charles R. Loudermilk, Chairman and CEO of Aaron Rents, Inc.[

The Franchise will provide products and services primarily to customers in need of furniture, electronics, appliances and jewelry, but who do not choose to, or cannot, purchase them with cash or credit. The customer will make monthly lease payments. The customer can return the product at any time without obligation or can make continuous payments for the term, (6 months, 12 months or 24 months), lease after which the customer will own the product. The customer may also purchase the product in the first 90 days at the retail price, applying all monies paid to date.

As an Aaron’s franchisee, you will benefit from our national reputation, industry experience, operating standards, and manufacturing and distribution systems.

We provide you with a full range of services beginning with site selection assistance, and training in the management and operations of your Aaron’s stores. Our 13-course curriculum administered at “Aaron’s University” provides you with the knowledge to properly execute the program and to develop your associates.

The Company’s in-house manufacturing and distribution facilities enable same-day and next-day delivery of merchandise. Our marketing program is built on the three reasons to shop at Aaron’s. In addition they make dreams come true through their “Drive Dreams Home” sponsorship of NASCAR championship racing. Aaron’s is the title sponsor of the “Aaron’s 312” Busch series races with Michael Waltrip, one of NASCAR’S most popular drivers, at the helm of the Aaron’s #99 car.

Critically important for on-going support is our Aaron’s Franchise Association and the Aaron’s Management Team both established to facilitate communications within the franchise community and with the Aaron’s organization.
