Hi, I’m Abby, and I’m here to help.
Okay, a little more about me. My name’s Abby. And I’m kind of the voice of everyone here at Advance America. While I can’t be in every Advance America store at the same time (that’d be weird), I do speak for all of us when I say “I’m here for you. To listen. To help. To keep you moving forward.”
That really is our reason for being. To help people who’ve hit a stumbling block. A hiccup in their monthly budget.
So, if you need some money fast, we’re here to help you. It’s what we do.
