The company has seven showrooms across southern Ontario in Stoney Creek, St. Catharines, Mississauga, Kitchener, London, Vaughan,[3] and a clearance centre in Burlington.

History

Tony Goemans opened his first appliance store in 1978 on the corner of Centennial Parkway and King Street West in Stoney Creek, Ontario. He sold appliances during the day, and delivered them in the evening.

In 1988, the showroom moved to a bigger location in Stoney Creek on Queenston Road. This flagship store has more than 17,000 square feet of appliances. The showroom was renovated in 2010.[4]

In 2013, Tony Goemans died from cancer. Jason Goemans, joined by his brothers Jeff and Brad, carried on the family business.[5]
