New York – Grants Appliance & Electronics has joined the NATM Buying Corporation, becoming its eleventh member.
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 and a broader selection of brown goods.
‘We look forward to becoming a strong member of the NATM organization, said Grant’s 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.’
