The Premier Companies, franchiser of rent to own furniture, appliances, computers and electronics, held their 2015 National Convention in Marco Island, Florida last week.

A huge congratulations was extended and goes out to Chad & Rhonda Fosdick, Premier Rental-Purchase franchisees in North Platte, for receiving the Premier Shooting Star Award.

This award is given to new store locations who exceed a particular revenue point in their first full six months of operating.

Only one of these prestigious awards are presented each year.

“2014 was really an awesome year for us and our team,” said Fosdick.  “I’ve devoted many years of hard work to provide our customers here in North Platte the best service possible and was excited to be able to open our own store and take that service expectation to the next level.”

“I’m proud to have surrounded myself with a tremendous staff. Katie, James and Mike are the ones that really earned this award and we’re just proud to have been a part of it,” Fosdick added.

During Fosdick’s nine year career in the rent to own industry, he has managed multiple store locations across Nebraska finishing in the top 7% in performance of a 750 store chain. His career also saw growth finishing in the top 10% of a 3,000 store chain in North Platte. Fosdick opened his own Premier Rental Purchase store in January 2014.
