196 listed stores across 80 cities, reviewed August 4, 2026.
We list 196 appliance stores in Michigan, spread across 80 cities. 162 of them (83%) 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 Michigan and is the denominator for every share on this page. 78 carry a working website and 196 carry a verified street-level location.
38 of the 196 Michigan 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.
The typical rated listing here carries 116 Google reviews, more than the 69 of the median state. The most-reviewed listing in the state is Big George's Home Appl Mart in Ann Arbor, at 7,583 reviews.
We have classified what 31 of the 196 Michigan listings sell (16%), from what each store publishes about itself. The chips below the store list break that subset down. The other 165 are listed but not yet classified, and a store missing from a category has not been ruled out of it.
We have found a founding year for 24 of the 196 Michigan listings, and 23 of those have been trading since before 2000. The earliest is Bussard Appliance Parts Inc in Pontiac, which dates itself to 1947. The other 172 listings publish no founding date we could find, so treat this as a floor rather than a count.
No single Michigan city holds much of the inventory. The largest, Detroit, accounts for 35 of 196 listings (18%), against a median top-city share of 23% 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 42 of the 196 Michigan listings and recorded which brands each names. Across that subset the most frequently named are GE (23), Frigidaire (22) and LG (18). This describes only the 42 crawled sites, not the whole state, and a brand appearing on a store site is not a guarantee of current stock.
71 of the 196 Michigan listings (36%) have a website that answered when we last fetched it, against 50% in the median state. 118 publish no website address at all, so the phone number on each listing is the way to check stock.
Independents hold a smaller share of the inventory in Michigan than in the median state: 83% here against 91%, a gap of 8 points. The largest multi-location operator we see here is Abc Warehouse, with 19 of its 26 national locations in the state.
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 Michigan 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 Michigan appliance market beyond what these listings show.
162 of 196 listings (83%) are independents. The remaining 34 locations belong to 7 multi-location operators:
| Operator | In Michigan | Nationally |
|---|---|---|
| Abc Warehouse | 19 | 26 |
| Ollie's Bargain Outlet | 7 | 114 |
| ABC Warehouse | 3 | 5 |
| Ferguson Home | 2 | 64 |
| A1 Appliance | 1 | 5 |
| American Freight Furniture & Mattress | 1 | 21 |
| 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 196 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.
