Ribbon Cutting at Advance America Leeds

Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Leeds held a ribbon cutting at Advance America Leeds on Friday, January 26, 2024. Mayor David Miller cut the ribbon along with a group of Leeds area business professionals and chamber board members to celebrate Advance America’s business model transition. This company no longer offers title loans or payday loans, but now offers regular installment loans at affordable interest rates with flexible payment terms. Mayor Miller spoke a few words to personally congratulate them on their new business model. Advance America store manager, Candice Turner, shared more information about their company and what they now offer.

“We’re tickled that you (Advance America Leeds) have reorganized and are staying here in Leeds so welcome again. Our philosophy is that Leeds is open for business and since we've been in the office, we’ve brought in over 80 new businesses or expanded businesses to Leeds. This is just another example. We are on the move, we are financially sound and we welcome anyone that will love to come to a good business environment,” says City of Leeds Mayor David Miller.
