As a native of the Bronx, I have always supported local businesses that are concerned with joining our community and improving it with their presence. I am pleased to announce that Aaron’s Inc. will be opening their 2000th store right here in our borough! They bring with them a tradition of being a family and community oriented company.
Aaron’s specializes in providing their customers with retail consumer electronics, computers, residential furniture, household appliances and accessories. In essence, they provide many items to cater to every family’s needs in one place! Their new store will be located at 3254 White Plains Road and will join a thriving shopping area within the White Plains Shopping strip.
Local shoppers can now enjoy Aaron’s affordable payment plans which are extremely important for some families in light of the current economic situation. This is true not only across the country but especially throughout this borough and many of the outer boroughs of New York City. Aaron’s customers are guaranteed a low price on all of their items, flexible credit plans, and the ability to choose your own payment terms.
Aaron’s cares about the community so they are adopting the Parkside Community Center. Through their Community Outreach Program, they will be transforming the Community Center by providing brand new computer equipment along with an exciting new facelift. This will be of huge benefit to the community at large.
The celebration will begin the week of 9/24 when the Aaron’s roving street team will be canvassing the Bronx and Fordham neighborhoods giving away prize packs including gift cards to the new store. On Thursday, 9/27, Aaron’s mascot, Lucky Dog, will be in Times Square and on the LG Jumbotron giving away miniature stuffed Lucky Dogs, prize packs, and gift cards to passers by.
To celebrate their grand opening and to reach out to the community, Aaron’s is hosting a 2 day grand opening event! This event is scheduled for September 28th and September 29th, 2012. Throughout the weekend, a total of 19 door prizes will be given away including a 73″ TV!
