In Memory of Diane Froehlich
Throughout its history, Plessers has remained family owned and has embodied the tenets of small business entrepreneurship. In an age of huge, multi-billion dollar chain stores, Plesser’s has used this spirit to navigate the retail appliance and electronics industry and remain viable and profitable.
Always looking to give back to the community that has supported us and served us well over the years, we have decided to create an annual scholarship, which will hopefully propel future generations of entrepreneurs toward a similar path, keeping small business relevant.
In 2016 we lost a devoted employee of almost 20 years and life long Babylon resident, Diane Froehlich. Diane was well known and loved in the community and was the embodiment of its spirit. Diane was also a graduate of Babylon High School. Accordingly, we are honored to create this scholarship in her name.
We will be awarding the Plesser’s Appliance scholarship to a Babylon High School Student looking to pursue a future in business. In addition, this student has a strong sense of community demonstrated in part by their participation in volunteer/philanthropic endeavors. We’re excited for this upcoming Tuesday, June 6 to announce our first annual scholarship recipient. Thank you to all of our applicants.

In an age when appliance/electronic stores and on-line buying websites seem to sprout up overnight and then just as quickly disappear, Plesser’s has been in business since 1919.
Founded in 1919 by Sam Plesser, one of America’s oldest appliance stores is still going strong, while scores of competitors have gone out of business. Current owners, Marc Howard & Al Howard, third generation appliance men, follow the credo Sam Plesser established back in the beginning of the century, "Treat the customer with respect and offer them the best prices, products and support available.”
The Plesser's management, sales and customer support teams are proud to carry on the tradition of "old-fashioned service and customer satisfaction. Though their concept of complete customer satisfaction may be old fashioned, their expertise of the ever-changing appliance/electronic industry is anything but. Keeping abreast of the latest innovations, Plesser’s carries the most technologically advanced products from all major manufacturers. In addition to the huge assortment of kitchen appliances, Plesser’s is at the forefront in offering the latest in BBQ’s, Air Conditioners and state-of-the-art Electronics.
Plesser’s is a member of the Inter-County nationwide appliance co-op. With more than 500 stores throughout the country, their combined 9 billion dollars in nationwide sales allows them to beat any price you may receive from the so-called super stores, chain stores, department stores or any on-line retailer. Five fully stocked centrally located warehouses affords you the opportunity for quick delivery.
Plesser’s is always striving to ensure their customers continue to enjoy their shopping experience both in the showroom and on-line.
