In this age of big-box stores chock-full of seemingly countless brands -- enough to make your head spin -- it's refreshing to visit a retailer that specializes in a handful. Of course, Barrington Appliance & TV can get its customers any appliance or any TV -- from any maker -- they want. But the store knows GE and how to fix its (or any other manufacturers') products. The fact that this Barrington staple has been around since 1947 is another plus.
