MEMPHIS, Tenn — Christmas came early for hundreds of people in Tennessee over the weekend when a local businessman paid off their layaway balances at a Burlington Coat Factory in Memphis.
Burlington declined to say how many people Fogleman helped or how much money was spent, but the people who spoke with Fox13Memphis had bills ranging from $60 to $150, which Fogleman paid.
Zola Morris was one of the people who felt the holiday spirit thanks in part to businessman Azron Fogleman's gift. After getting a call from a Burlington employee, she and hundreds of other people lined up to pick up their items.
"I just want him to know, thank you so much," Morris said. "It's a blessing for someone that's giving like that. So I appreciate it."
It's not the first time something like this has happened in Memphis. A couple on Monday paid 135 layaways at the Whitehaven Walmart.
