AUGUST/1991

Peterson opened his first store in 1964, which grew to a regional consumer electronics, home appliance, and furniture chain in the
1970s.

In the mid-2000s, the Petersons sold their last remaining property
at the corner of Southeast 82nd and Foster and moved the store
to a side street a block away, just off 82nd Avenue. The final
location closed on February 28, 2009.
