In an era where appliance stores and retailers sprout up overnight and disappear the next, Plesser’s remains in business over 100 years after opening.

Founded in 1919 by Sam Plesser, Plesser’s is one of the nation’s oldest appliance retailers. Current owners Marc and Alan Howard are third generation appliance experts, and still follow the credo established by Sam Plesser over 100 years ago: “Treat the customer with respect. Offer them the best prices, products and support available."

Every team member at Plesser’s appliances is committed to carrying on the tradition of old-fashioned customer service and guaranteed customer satisfaction. Though our treatment of our customers may be old-fashioned, our staff’s product expertise is anything but. In the ever-changing appliance and electronic industry, our team is up to date on all the latest innovations from all the industry’s leading manufacturers. In addition to our complete selection of kitchen appliances and laundry, Pleser’s can provide numerous options in barbecues, air conditioners and major electronics.

Plesser’s is a proud member of the Intercounty appliance co-op. A group of over 500 member stores nationwide with a combined 9 billion dollars in revenue allows us to beat any prices from the big box super stores and online retailers; plus, our five centrally located warehouses affords you the opportunity for quick delivery nationwide.

Plesser’s strives to ensure our customers continue to enjoy every step of their experience, both online and in person.
