70 listed stores across 21 cities, reviewed August 4, 2026.
We list 70 appliance stores in Kentucky, spread across 21 cities. 63 of them (90%) 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 August 4, 2026.
Counted from our own database on August 4, 2026. “Listed stores” is every active listing in Kentucky and is the denominator for every share on this page. 38 carry a working website and 70 carry a verified street-level location.
13 of the 70 Kentucky listings (19%) 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 18 of the 70 Kentucky listings, and 17 of those have been trading since before 2000. The earliest is Bonnycastle Appliance & TV in Louisville, which dates itself to 1918. The other 52 listings publish no founding date we could find, so treat this as a floor rather than a count.
23 of the 70 listings (33%) are in Louisville alone. The remaining 47 are split across 20 other cities. Across all 51 state pages the median top-city share is 23%.
We have classified what 11 of the 70 Kentucky listings sell (16%), from what each store publishes about itself. The chips below the store list break that subset down. The other 59 are listed but not yet classified, and a store missing from a category has not been ruled out of it.
We have read the websites of 26 of the 70 Kentucky listings and recorded which brands each names. Across that subset the most frequently named are GE (16), Whirlpool (16) and GE Profile (12). This describes only the 26 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 Kentucky 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 Kentucky appliance market beyond what these listings show.
63 of 70 listings (90%) are independents. The remaining 7 locations belong to 3 multi-location operators:
| Operator | In Kentucky | Nationally |
|---|---|---|
| Ollie's Bargain Outlet | 4 | 114 |
| American Freight Furniture & Mattress | 2 | 21 |
| 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.
12 of 70 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.
