    AARON’S HISTORY

    It all started in 1955, with an inventory of 300 chairs that R. Charles Loudermilk rented for 10 cents a day. Today, Aaron's is the recognized leader in the lease ownership industry. Aaron's carries top brand names of furniture, televisions, computers and appliances. Over 55 million households across North America know and trust the Aaron's name.


    Aaron's is the industry leader in serving the moderate-income customer, offering affordable payment plans, quality merchandise and superior service. Aaron's has been responsible for many of the industry's most successful and innovative marketing, operational and manufacturing programs.  From the beginning, we moved to the beat of a different drummer by distinguishing and distancing ourselves, our products and our services from the traditional rent-to-own stores.


    Aaron's continues to build on its stellar growth and is opening a new store every 3.5 days!

    CAREERS

    SEI/Aaron's is always looking for talented individuals to join our team. We are a company that lives by our values and goals every day and believe that people are the key to our success.
