Rent-A-Center Opens Store In Seymour, Indiana

Rent-A-Center Manager Noah Panagopoulos and his four-person sales team are pleased to offer residents of Seymour an additional option when it comes to acquiring ownership of high-quality furniture, appliances, electronics and computers.

“I’m excited to open a brand new store,” said Panagopoulos. “We want to get out into the community to help our customers, grow the business and make this one of the best stores in the company.”

The new Rent-A-Center is located at 1523 E. Tipton Street. Members of the community welcomed Rent-A-Center to the neighborhood at a grand opening celebration last Saturday, October 27, 2012. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Rent-A-Center contributed $1,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Seymour. Steve Stanfield, the club’s executive director, expressed his appreciation for the contribution.

“A lot of our financial resources have depleted,” said Stanfield. “To receive funding from a new source is very helpful to carry out our mission to serve the local children of our community. We are very appreciative."

Rent-A-Center operates 96 locations in the state of Indiana. The Seymour location is open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
