Specialty home goods retailer Conn’s, Inc. (NASDAQ:CONN), will celebrate the grand opening of its second store in El Paso on Saturday, June 27, with gift card giveaways, storewide promotions and an opportunity for local customers to enter to win a $10,000 shopping spree.

Conn’s HomePlus offers high-quality and affordable products, specializing in furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products.

The 40,000 square-foot Conn’s HomePlus at 1971 Zaragosa Road in El Paso is the company’s 55th store in its home state of Texas and is expected to create more than 20 jobs. The new store is part of Conn’s robust national growth strategy of opening 15–18 stores in the 12 months beginning in February 2015. The Company currently has more than 90 stores in 11 states.

“Opening our second store in El Paso reflects the positive reception we’ve received in this market and we are excited to deepen our roots in this great community,” said David Trahan, President of Conn’s Retail Division.

The core of Conn’s continued growth and success is its in-house credit program called “YES MONEY®,” which offers consumers the chance to purchase high quality goods at low monthly payments they can afford, even if they have been turned down elsewhere. The ability to make aspirational items affordable has led to more than 90 percent of surveyed customers stating that they would recommend Conn’s to family and friends.

“We take great pride in our YES MONEY® program to make high-quality products affordable to hardworking consumers,” said Trahan. “This program, coupled with our satisfying shopping experience, brings back customers time and again,” says Trahan.

The other El Paso Conn’s HomePlus is located at 6101 Gateway West. Customers can enter to win the $10,000 shopping spree at both El Paso Conn’s locations now through October 30.

Deepening Community Connection Through Conn’s Cares

The Company has further established its connection to El Paso and other communities it serves through Conn’s Cares, the philanthropic program the Company launched earlier this year. Conn’s will donate more than $300,000 worth of books to deserving children through the initiative in 2015. Earlier this year in El Paso, Conn’s donated new books to Colin Powell Elementary School and EHS Student Publications through its partnership with nonprofit partner First Book.
