"We are very excited to move a Rent-A-Center into Crowley," said McCoy. "We look forward to being able to serve the community and provide each and every customer with the highest level of customer service."

The new Rent-A-Center is located at 1201 FM 1187, STE. 9 Crowley, TX. Members of the community welcomed Rent-A-Center to the neighborhood at a grand opening celebration on Thursday, August 1st at 2:00 p.m. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, a Rent-A-Center payment of $1,000 was donated to Be The Match Foundation.

"On behalf of the Be The Match Registry at Cook Children's Medical Center we thank Rent-A-Center for this donation," said Jamie Kayser, RN, director for Be The Match Registry. "Every year, more than 12,000 patients are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases and they depend on the Be The Match Registry to find an unrelated donor. This donation will help those patients get the transplant they need."
