Rent One's Angela Hunter profiled in local newspaper

Rent One's "Rookie of the Year" Angela Hunter was the feature of a recent business profile in the Jonesboro Sun newspaper in northeast Arkansas.

In the article, published March 13, Rent One higher ups credit Hunter's "can do attitude" and dedication to customer service as key to her success in growing sales and customer bases for the three Rent One stores she's managed.

All in one year.

Angela Hunter and Larry Carrico at the Rent One awards banquet last month.

"I love my job," Hunter says in article. "And I think that has something to do with the success I am having because if you love your job, then it's going to show and you will do better."

SKC Enterprises CEO Larry Carrico comments in the article on Hunter's surprisingly fast development as a leader of Rent One's Walnut Ridge, Newport and Trumann stores.

"As a rookie, seldom do you see a leader like Angela get immediate, positive results. She has an uncanny ability to adapt to her surroundings. Her co-workers like the changes she makes because they reap the rewards of her management style. Positive attitude and great client relations seem to make the difference."

The Rent One Rookie of the Year Award is given annually to a Rent One employee in their first year of service with the company in recognition of personal and notable achievements.

Hunter was presented the award at the awards banquet concluding the annual Rent One Managers meeting in Cape Girardeau, Missouri last month.
