Appliance Direct, headquartered in Melbourne, FL operates 8 stores in central Florida. It has filed for chapter 11 protection so that it can continue to operate.
I almost got a sales job there but they wanted me to be more flexible with my available hours than I was willing to be. I found a KitchenAid washer and dryer (Ensemble) in stainless there during a grand opening sale for $500!!!! I bought them and resold them for $2000. I also got a few GE dishwashers and front loading washer dryer sets for around $200/dishwashers and $400/washer dryer sets (GE Profile made by Electrolux). Their main brand was Whirlpool and I'd see rows of the DD washers and matching dryers.The owner was Korean and was a bit fascinated by the old Frigidaire Jet Action 1-18s which he used one of for a local tv commercial.I knew that they were too good to be true because there were some serious issues about the condition of their appliances and why they were able to have them lowered so cheap.
