What the Rhode Island listings show

What we know these stores sell

We have classified what 7 of the 36 Rhode Island listings sell (19%), from what each store publishes about itself. The chips below the store list break that subset down. The other 29 are listed but not yet classified, and a store missing from a category has not been ruled out of it.

The larger storefronts

5 of the 36 Rhode Island listings (14%) carry 500 or more Google reviews. A review count that size takes years to accumulate, so those are the storefronts with the longest public track record in the state, whatever their founding date says.

How long these businesses have been trading

We have found a founding year for 5 of the 36 Rhode Island listings, and 5 of those have been trading since before 2000. The earliest is Atomic Appliance in Providence, which dates itself to 1950. The other 31 listings publish no founding date we could find, so treat this as a floor rather than a count.

Which brands turn up most

We have read the websites of 13 of the 36 Rhode Island listings and recorded which brands each names. Across that subset the most frequently named are GE (11), KitchenAid (10) and Whirlpool (10). This describes only the 13 crawled sites, not the whole state, and a brand appearing on a store site is not a guarantee of current stock.

Whether you can check stock online

20 of the 36 Rhode Island listings (56%) have a website that answered when we last fetched it, against 73% in the median state. 15 publish no website address at all, so the phone number on each listing is the way to check stock.

Review depth

The typical rated listing here carries 47 Google reviews, fewer than the 74 of the median state. The most-reviewed listing in the state is Wickford Appliance Lighting in North Kingstown, at 2,280 reviews.

Method. Each paragraph above is computed from this database when the page is requested, not written by hand, and every figure in it can be re-derived from the listings on this page. Where a paragraph compares Rhode Island against a national figure, that figure is the median across all 51 state pages rather than a pooled national total, which three large states would otherwise dominate. Nothing is claimed about the Rhode Island appliance market beyond what these listings show.

Who owns the Rhode Island market

35 of 36 listings (97%) are independents. The remaining 1 location belong to 1 multi-location operator:

Operator In Rhode Island Nationally
Ollie's Bargain Outlet 1 114

Method. We hold no ownership records, so an operator counts as a chain when the same store name appears 5 or more times across our national database. That groups by name, so a chain trading under several names is undercounted and two unrelated stores sharing a common name are overcounted. It is a proxy, and we would rather publish it with its limits stated than not publish it.

Highest-rated stores in Rhode Island

12 of 36 listings, ranked by Google rating weighted by review count so a single five-star review does not outrank a long track record. Stores with no rating on file sort last.
