Whichever sport is in season, you won’t find any rookies on the Shore Appliance Connection team. And that applies from opening pitch to the final score. Hitting home runs since 1951, Shore Appliance is the largest independent, full-service appliance store on the Eastern Shore, with an 18,000 square foot showroom filled with new appliances from quality manufacturers such as Amana, Maytag, Electrolux, Frigidaire, GE, Whirlpool, Viking, Sub Zero and Wolf.

Let’s start at first base. With a total of over 100 years of professional selling experience, Shore Appliance’s sales team, headed by Sales Manager Ryan Larmore, really knows the score when it comes to helping you choose the appliances to fit your tastes, needs and budget. Daily training sessions include downloads of marketing and industry information to keep everyone “on the ball” with late-breaking developments.

Plus, you’ll find everyday prices that are the very best deals in the industry. As a member of Nationwide Brand Direct Marketing Group, the largest independent appliance marketing and buying organization in the country, Shore Appliance is backed by over $18 billion in buying power. And higher buying power means lower prices for you. That’s real clout when it comes to outscoring the big box dealers!

For the promotion of energy-efficient homes, Nationwide and its members were recently awarded the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy 2009 Excellence in Energy Star Promotion Award for the third year in a row.

Shore Appliance’s large selection, plus its affiliation with Nationwide, allows them to keep pace with current trends and offer the best values in the marketplace. 

That means, whether you’re shopping for a patio grill, remodeling your home, buying a new house, looking for a range for a rental property, or just replacing that inefficient appliance, Shore Appliance has the deal for you. 

“For every budget from $199 to $100,000, we have it all,” said owner Gary Larmore. “Our overall value to the customer can’t be beat,” he added with the confidence that comes from his 37 years in the business. 

Shore Appliance has recently expanded into a 10,000-square-foot Clearance Center next door to the Twilley Centre showroom where you’ll find new, one-of-a-kind factory closeouts, some with minor scratches and dents, but all with manufacturer warranty. So if you’re looking for that energy-efficient laundry set, or hard-to-find wall oven at a savings of up to 50 percent off, you don’t want to miss this.

At second base is Operations Manager Duane Larmore, who heads up the largest factory-trained service department on the Eastern Shore. A strong commitment to customer service has led to the complete restructuring of Shore Appliance Connection’s service department in the last 18 months. The installation of state-of-the-art computer systems in all the vehicles means direct communications with factory technical support and up-to-the-minute information while in the customer’s home. Additional Customer Service Representative (CSR) training and immediate parts status notification is being implemented now so customers know exactly which parts are required to complete repairs. All service and installation technicians are required to complete online and factory training courses on an ongoing basis. 

Third base — when it comes to safe delivery, Shore Appliance is second-to-none. Lionel Conway, George Jackson and John Taylor take pride in comprising the most highly trained delivery team on the Eastern Shore.
Always ready at home plate, owners Gary and Lynn Larmore are natives of Salisbury and have enjoyed serving their friends and neighbors on the Eastern Shore since 1972.

Their sons, Duane and Ryan, who work daily in the business, are knowledgeable and involved in all aspects of the company’s operation as they prepare to move it ahead for the next generation.
Their lifelong dedication to the community is shown in their support of local charities such as Women Supporting Women, March of Dimes, Salisbury Jaycees and Wheels That Heal Car Club. Those are just some of the ways they are giving back to their home town.

So if you’re tired of shopping for appliances at those big box chain stores where you can’t find a knowledgeable sales person or where your purchases aren’t serviced by factory-trained technicians, visit your home team at Shore Appliance Connection, and see why they say, “We can make your appliance dreams come true.”
