Allentown Appliance, founded in 1987 by Joe Schaefer, is a family-owned and operated appliance store located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. With over 35 years of experience, Joe initially learned the trade while working in his family’s used furniture store, leading him to start a successful appliance repair business. The store originally opened its doors selling used appliances and brands such as Kelvinator and Westinghouse, quickly gaining a reputation for quality service and a commitment to local landlords and residents.
By 1992, Allentown Appliance expanded its offerings, becoming a dealer for major brands including Maytag, Frigidaire, and GE, significantly enhancing its market presence. The business thrived, especially after joining a cooperative buying group that allowed for better purchasing power and competitive pricing. In 2001, the company relocated to its current location on W. Allen Street in Allentown’s West End Theater District, where it continues to operate today.
What distinguishes Allentown Appliance from its competition is its dedicated staff, many of whom have extensive careers in the appliance industry. Their expert sales team provides personalized service, ensuring that each customer's needs and lifestyles are carefully considered when selecting appliances. The company also offers professional delivery and installation services, along with old appliance removal, securing a hassle-free experience for customers.
Under the leadership of Jill Schaefer, who succeeded Joe upon his passing in 2022, Allentown Appliance remains dedicated to its mission of providing high-quality appliances and exceptional customer service. As a fixture in the Lehigh Valley community, Allentown Appliance prides itself on being the premier appliance dealer in the area, serving a broad clientele that includes builders, designers, and healthcare providers, all while maintaining a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.
