26 listed stores across 18 cities, reviewed September 19, 2026.
We list 26 appliance stores in Maine, spread across 18 cities. 24 of them (92%) trade under a name we see nowhere else at scale, which is our working definition of an independent. Every listing is checked against Google Business Profile data; this page was last rebuilt from the database on September 19, 2026.
Counted from our own database on September 19, 2026. “Listed stores” is every active listing in Maine and is the denominator for every share on this page. 13 carry a working website and 26 carry a verified street-level location.
4 of the 26 Maine listings (15%) 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.
We have found a founding year for 4 of the 26 Maine listings, and 4 of those have been trading since before 2000. The earliest is Dunnett Appliance & Mattress in Bangor, which dates itself to 1948. The other 22 listings publish no founding date we could find, so treat this as a floor rather than a count.
No single Maine city holds much of the inventory. The largest, Lewiston, accounts for 4 of 26 listings (15%), against a median top-city share of 24% across the 51 state pages. Searching by city matters more here than in states where one metro carries the market.
We have read the websites of 11 of the 26 Maine listings and recorded which brands each names. Across that subset the most frequently named are GE (7), Electrolux (6) and Maytag (6). This describes only the 11 crawled sites, not the whole state, and a brand appearing on a store site is not a guarantee of current stock.
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 Maine 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 Maine appliance market beyond what these listings show.
24 of 26 listings (92%) are independents. The remaining 2 locations belong to 2 multi-location operators:
| Operator | In Maine | Nationally |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance Warehouse | 1 | 11 |
| Ferguson Home | 1 | 64 |
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.
12 of 26 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.
