188 listed stores across 91 cities, reviewed September 19, 2026.
We list 188 appliance stores in New Jersey, spread across 91 cities. 172 of them (91%) 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 New Jersey and is the denominator for every share on this page. 75 carry a working website and 188 carry a verified street-level location.
27 of the 188 New Jersey 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.
No single New Jersey city holds much of the inventory. The largest, Paterson, accounts for 18 of 188 listings (10%), 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 45 of the 188 New Jersey listings and recorded which brands each names. Across that subset the most frequently named are GE (29), Electrolux (28) and Frigidaire (28). This describes only the 45 crawled sites, not the whole state, and a brand appearing on a store site is not a guarantee of current stock.
66 of the 188 New Jersey listings (35%) have a website that answered when we last fetched it, against 49% in the median state. 113 publish no website address at all, so the phone number on each listing is the way to check stock.
We have found a founding year for 16 of the 188 New Jersey listings, and 13 of those have been trading since before 2000. The earliest is Elm Appliance in Westfield, which dates itself to 1943. The other 172 listings publish no founding date we could find, so treat this as a floor rather than a count.
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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey appliance market beyond what these listings show.
172 of 188 listings (91%) are independents. The remaining 16 locations belong to 5 multi-location operators:
| Operator | In New Jersey | Nationally |
|---|---|---|
| P C Richard & Son | 11 | 41 |
| Ollie's Bargain Outlet | 2 | 114 |
| Affordable Appliance | 1 | 5 |
| Appliance Doctor | 1 | 9 |
| Appliances 4 Less | 1 | 23 |
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 188 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.
