Ohio-based Showplace Rent To Own celebrated 36 years in business with two exciting events last week, its Annual Employee Appreciation Day & Business Meeting followed by its Spring Customer Appreciation Sale.
On Wednesday, April 11, all fifteen stores across central Ohio were closed so employees could participate in Showplace’s Annual Employee Appreciation Day & Business Meeting.
