P.C. Richard & Son and GE

Posted by Allison L. on February 10, 2012 at 12:03 pm

P.C. Richard & Son has carried GE appliances for almost as long as the store has been in business. In the tough economic climate of the 1940s, P.C. Richard took advantage of GE Financing to help customers purchase home appliances. The long-standing relationship was formed based on trust and reliability, but has been able to stand the test of time thanks to GE Capital’s expertise and scale.

Check out this wonderful video from GE Capital for insight into the history of our company, the fantastic partnership between P.C. Richard & Son and GE, and spend some time with our CEO, Gary Richard.

May in Review

Posted by Allison L. on June 2, 2010 at 10:00 am

May was a month of store openings in Philadelphia and North Haven. We celebrated our first Pennsylvania store with visits from Smokin’ Joe Frazier, Bernie Parent, Ike Reese and Hugh Douglas. We were hiring in Carteret, NJ and Danbury, CT, too.

It was also a month for media: Did you happen to catch us on TV? We discussed wine coolers with PIX’s Toni On! New York and home theater systems on Fox in Connecticut. We were happy to hear that Long Island’s own Ken Dashow gave us a shoutout about P.C. Richard & Son’s unparalleled service on his radio show at Q104.3. We celebrated the premiere of Sex and the City 2 movie with HP in our NYC stores.

April in Review

Posted by Allison L. on May 3, 2010 at 10:00 am

April was an exciting month for us. While listening to music through great, inexpensive Coby headphones, we welcomed the warmer weather with BBQ and AC sales and covered everything from portable appliances to our many Hot Deals of the Week. We celebrated Earth Day and Administrative Assistant’s Day, as well as our monthly Sweepstakes of the Century with our April Sony electronics giveaway. A couple of quality video games came out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 that earned points toward our Video Game Rewards Program, and we wrote a few helpful how-to guides, including how to prevent viruses from taking over your computer, how to use the modes on your digital camera, and how to increase your productivity with BlackBerry applications.
