THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- (Business Wire)
Specialty home goods retailer Conn’s, Inc. (NASDAQ:CONN), will celebrate
Independence Day with the grand opening of its second store in Memphis
on Saturday, the Fourth of July, with gift card giveaways, storewide
promotions and an opportunity for local customers to enter to win a
$10,000 shopping spree.
Conn’s HomePlus offers high-quality and affordable products,
specializing in furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer
electronics and home office products.
The new 50,000-plus square-foot Conn’s HomePlus at 3260 Austin Peay
Highway in Memphis has created 28 jobs. The new store is the fourth in
Tennessee and is part of Conn’s national growth strategy of opening
15–18 stores in the 12 months beginning in February 2015. The Company
has plans to open one more store in Tennessee this September that will
deliver another 20+ jobs. The Company currently has more than 90 stores
in 12 states.
“Opening our second store in Memphis reflects the positive reception
we’ve received in the city and we are excited to deepen our roots in
this great community,” said David Trahan, President of Conn’s Retail
Division.
The core of Conn’s continued growth and success is its in-house credit
program called “YES MONEY®,” which offers consumers
the chance to purchase high quality goods at low monthly payments they
can afford, even if they have been turned down elsewhere. The ability to
make aspirational items affordable has led to more than 90 percent of
surveyed customers stating that they would recommend Conn’s to family
and friends.
“We take great pride in our YES MONEY® program to make
high-quality products affordable to hardworking consumers,” said Trahan.
“This program, coupled with our satisfying shopping experience, brings
back customers time and again,” says Trahan.
The other Memphis Conn’s HomePlus is located at 3525 Riverdale Road.
Customers can enter to win the $10,000 shopping spree at both Memphis
Conn’s locations now through October 30.
Deepening Community Connection Through Conn’s Cares
The Company has further established its connection to Memphis and other
communities it serves through Conn’s Cares, the philanthropic
program the Company launched earlier this year. Conn’s will donate more
than $300,000 worth of books to deserving children through the
initiative in 2015. Earlier this year in Memphis, Conn’s donated 1,000
new books to Belle Forest Community School through its partnership with
nonprofit partner First Book.
