An independently owned and operated franchise of Aaron Rents that sells and leases household furnishings such as appliances, furniture, electronics, TVs, and computers.

Why it's growing:
CEO Gopal Reddy added another two stores last year, bringing his total ownership to ten.

What's noteworthy:
As a franchisee, the company benefits from the national brand name recognition, buying power, and distribution capability of Aaron Rents, but can provide more customer service than national home furnishing and electronic chains.
