Even

there is no assurance that you’ll do as well. If you rely on our
figures, you must accept the risk of not doing as well.
OUR MODEL: MAKING BUSINESS DREAMS COME TRUE
Our business is simple, clean and rewarding.
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 CAN$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 CAN$130 dollars (quite a jump from your fast
food average of less than CAN$10 dollars.) Best of all, it only takes 6-9
employees to operate an Aaron’s franchise.
What’s
most important to you in evaluating a franchise offering: The franchise
system? The operations? The bottom-line numbers? Whatever it is, Aaron’s
has it all.
OUR
HISTORY: A PROUD PAST AND A BRIGHT FUTURE
It all started with a chair.
 "I
founded this business in 1955, renting folding chairs to auction houses
for CAN$.10 cents a day. Today, Aaron Rents, Inc. is the recognized leader
in the sales and lease ownership industry with over CAN$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.
