Kenmore has announced a partnership with O’Rourke Sales Company, a leading independent distributor of appliances, electronics, and other household goods. This long-term, exclusive appointment as a distributor of Kenmore’s major appliances in the United States. These will be available to O’Rourke’s domestic network of customers across all of their sales channels: Retail, Rent-to-Own, E-Commerce, Premiums & Incentives, Hospitality / Builder, and the Military Exchanges.
“Expanding distribution isn’t about the Kenmore name being in more places,” said Sri Solur, CEO, Brands, Kenmore in a statement. “It’s using the Kenmore name to drive mutual growth strategies. O’Rourke represents an incredible network of independent, national, and regional retailers, rent-to-own stores, online marketplaces, and military exchange channels nationwide. This partnership means incremental value for each of us but most importantly, for all our customers.”
This partnership marks a significant milestone in the Kenmore brand revitalization strategy, stepping the brand into its broadest cumulative distribution network for major appliances in nearly a century of sales. This partnership focuses on new major appliances, recently announced by Kenmore, including newly released gas and electric ranges, built-in dishwashers, and top-mount refrigerators. It will also include side-by-side and French door refrigerators and new top-load and front-load laundry machines.
“We at O’Rourke Sales Company are very excited to team up with Kenmore and look forward to helping revitalize this legacy brand to all of our customers across the country,” said Tom Jeffries, Senior Vice President of Sales and Appliances. “With Kenmore’s focus on the latest in appliance technologies and product advancements paired with O’Rourke Sales’ 59 years of distribution experience and dedicated sales team, we believe Kenmore will once again become a leading household name in the appliance industry in 2024 and beyond.”
New Kenmore products will be available at O’Rourke Sales in early 2024. For information on available products, upcoming launches, and more visit www.kenmore.com.
