Aaron Rents adds two RTO divisions

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, January 16, 2005

Atlanta — To better manage its growing operations, Aaron Rents has created two new divisions for its Aaron's Sales and Lease Ownership stores.

Aaron's executives Gregory Ballof and David Boggan have been named to oversee the divisions. In another move, the company appointed Mitchell Paull as senior vice president, merchandising and logistics.

Ballof is now vice president, Mid-Atlantic Operations. He has been with Aaron's since 1996 as a general manager, district manager and regional manager, and in 2003 led the Tampa Bay operation to become Region of the Year.

Boggan, who joined Aaron's in 1998 after 24 years of industry management experience, is vice president, Mississippi Valley Operations. He most recently was vice president, merchandising and distribution, and earlier was the manager of what was then the Mississippi Valley Region and has now been reorganized as a stand-alone division.

There are now eight Aaron's Sales and Lease Ownership operating divisions.

Paull has been with Aaron's since 1991 and has served as treasurer and senior vice president with responsibilities in areas including accounting, financial analysis, manufacturing and information systems.

"Our rapid expansion across the country has made these changes necessary," said Charlie Loudermilk, chairman and CEO of Aaron Rents, which now has more than 1,000 company-operated and franchised rent-to-own and rental stores. "We are particularly proud of our ability to develop a strong operating team and the professional advancement opportunities that come with growth."
