What the North Carolina listings show
Which brands turn up most
We have read the websites of 50 of the 220 North Carolina listings and recorded which brands each names. Across that subset the most frequently named are Whirlpool (33), GE (27) and Samsung (26). Whirlpool leads here where GE leads across the crawled sites nationally. This describes only the 50 crawled sites, not the whole state, and a brand appearing on a store site is not a guarantee of current stock.
The larger storefronts
30 of the 220 North Carolina 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.
What we know these stores sell
We have classified what 34 of the 220 North Carolina listings sell (15%), from what each store publishes about itself. The chips below the store list break that subset down. The other 186 are listed but not yet classified, and a store missing from a category has not been ruled out of it.
Where the listings sit
No single North Carolina city holds much of the inventory. The largest, Charlotte, accounts for 27 of 220 listings (12%), 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.
How long these businesses have been trading
We have found a founding year for 26 of the 220 North Carolina listings, and 19 of those have been trading since before 2000. The earliest is Caldwell Appliance Store in Charlotte, which dates itself to 1946. The other 194 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina appliance market beyond what these listings show.
Who owns the North Carolina market
190 of 220 listings (86%) are independents. The remaining 30 locations belong to 10 multi-location operators:
| Operator | In North Carolina | Nationally |
|---|---|---|
| Kimbrell's Furniture | 7 | 10 |
| Ollie's Bargain Outlet | 5 | 114 |
| Ferguson Home | 4 | 64 |
| Queen City Homestore | 4 | 6 |
| Mr Appliance | 3 | 40 |
| Appliances 4 Less | 2 | 23 |
| Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery | 2 | 8 |
| Appliance Center | 1 | 5 |
| Dan's Fan City | 1 | 8 |
| Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Showroom | 1 | 7 |
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 220 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.
