“I am beyond thrilled to have this opportunity to bring our company to an area with great diversity and spirit,” said Jarrin. “My staff and I will do our best to provide great customer service to every person that walks through our doors.”

The new Rent-A-Center is located at 45 South Route 9W. Members of the community will welcome Rent-A-Center to the neighborhood at a grand opening celebration on Friday, Nov. 15 at 11:00 a.m. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Rent-A-Center will contribute $1,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rockland County. Gillian Ballard, the organization’s president and CEO, expressed her appreciation for the contribution.

“We are so very grateful to be the recipient of this wonderful gift,” said Ballard. “All funds received by BBBS go into the cost of matching at-risk youth with qualified, fully screened mentors, thus forging significant, strong, long-lasting relationships which will ultimately make a positive difference in the lives of these children.”

In conjunction with the grand opening ceremony, the store will also hold a drawing for a 50” TV. To enter, simply visit the store. No purchase is necessary.

Rent-A-Center operates 179 locations in the state of New York. The West Haverstraw location is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
