What the Illinois listings show

How big this set is

Illinois holds the 5th largest set of listings we have, 242 of 6,264 nationally (3.9%). The city links at the foot of this page are the practical way through a list this long.

The larger storefronts

30 of the 242 Illinois listings (12%) 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.

What we know these stores sell

We have classified what 42 of the 242 Illinois listings sell (17%), from what each store publishes about itself. The chips below the store list break that subset down. The other 200 are listed but not yet classified, and a store missing from a category has not been ruled out of it.

Where the listings sit

76 of the 242 listings (31%) are in Chicago alone. The remaining 166 are split across 84 other cities. Across all 51 state pages the median top-city share is 23%.

How long these businesses have been trading

We have found a founding year for 37 of the 242 Illinois listings, and 25 of those have been trading since before 2000. The earliest is Cole's Appliance & Furniture Co. in Chicago, which dates itself to 1946. The other 205 listings publish no founding date we could find, so treat this as a floor rather than a count.

Review depth

The typical rated listing here carries 44 Google reviews, fewer than the 69 of the median state. The most-reviewed listing in the state is Sherman's in Peoria, at 4,482 reviews.

Which brands turn up most

We have read the websites of 61 of the 242 Illinois listings and recorded which brands each names. Across that subset the most frequently named are GE (32), Whirlpool (30) and LG (28). This describes only the 61 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 Illinois 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 Illinois appliance market beyond what these listings show.

Who owns the Illinois market

226 of 242 listings (93%) are independents. The remaining 16 locations belong to 8 multi-location operators:

Operator In Illinois Nationally
Grand Appliance and Tv 4 12
Ollie's Bargain Outlet 4 114
Appliances 4 Less 2 23
Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Showroom 2 7
American Freight Furniture & Mattress 1 21
Appliance Doctor 1 4
Lowe’s Outlet Store 1 6
Mr Appliance 1 40

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 Illinois

12 of 242 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.
