This new Lebanon store marks CMH Leasing’s fifth Aaron’s location in the state, further strengthening the company’s presence and reinforcing Clark’s understanding of the region’s families and their needs. 

“It’s truly an honor to continue growing CMH Leasing and the Aaron’s brand, and to serve yet another community with the high-quality products and services that Aaron’s is known for,” said Clark. “From the beginning, our mission has been to offer families flexible and affordable solutions that make their houses feel like homes. But that mission wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support and partnership of The Aaron’s Company. Their dedication to our success, their commitment to innovation, and their belief in franchisees like us have made a world of difference.” 

With Clark’s leadership, and the dedication of General Manager Angel Rivera and the Lebanon team, customers can expect personalized service and flexible options from neighbors who understand and care about their community. 

“This represents the very best of what we do at Aaron’s – combining national strength with local service,” said Olsen. “Our franchise partners don’t just choose to open a store; they choose to invest in their community’s future, and they believe in serving their neighbors with respect and flexibility.”
