Member Overview
Founded in 1963 by Gordon Hartunian, the “warehouse” concept for appliances and electronics began with a single store in Center Line, Michigan. Since that time, ABC Warehouse has grown to become Michigan’s largest appliance/electronics retailer with 43 locations within Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Most recently, ABC Warehouse has added premium mattresses and quality home entertainment furniture to its product mix. All 43 ABC Warehouse locations now boast a “Mattress Central” department offering all sizes and all comfort levels of premium mattresses, all at “The Closest Thing To Wholesale”®
In 1984, ABC Warehouse purchased Mickey Shorr, a well-known chain of mobile electronics specialty stores in Michigan. Currently Mickey Shorr operates 16 store locations in the Michigan market.
In 1990, ABC purchased Hawthorne Home Appliances and Electronics, a single store operation offering a higher-end product selection. Shortly, a second store was added for Hawthorne. In early 2001, ABC purchased a local, high-end housewares business by the name of Kitchen Glamor. Kitchen Glamor was added as a “store-within-a-store” concept to both locations and now compliments Hawthorne by offering top brand bakeware, cookware, cutlery, and kitchen electrics.
Despite tremendous expansion, ABC Warehouse continues with the same kind of small-family team environment with which they started over 50 years ago, dedicated to low price, large selection and strong customer service.
