MIKE ON MAIN STREET
Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Aaron’s Rent To Own in Springfield to learn more about their business. Founded in 1997, Aaron’s has expanded to 7 locations across Illinois. They have been furnishing homes and apartments across the 95th District in Illinois, and offer exceptional services. This business has very flexible options to accommodate anyone, and even offer installation and repair services for their appliances.
After my tour, we held a brief interview to discuss hurdles that the franchise is facing. The number one concern is high property taxes followed by the struggle to find hard-working employees. High property taxes impacts businesses across Illinois and hurts their profit margin. I have fought to reduce property taxes because it takes money from business owners and homeowners that could be redirected back into our economy. My priority continues to help businesses like Aaron’s so they can be prosperous and help improve the economy in the 95th District and Illinois.
Thank you Gopal Reddy and Kevin Milliron for your time, and letting me get to know your business!
