The Joliet, Ill.-based regional chain operates six appliance/electronics stores in the Chicago market. Founded as a single hardware store more than 75 years ago, it was acquired by current ownership in 1993 and expanded its presence into major appliances and a broader selection of brown goods.
"We look forward to becoming a strong member of the NATM organization," said Grants' president George Olsen. "Based on our plans for growth and commitment to the appliance/electronics categories, we're excited about the opportunities that NATM offers. We look forward to working with all the NATM members."
