Mr. Appliance
Someone’s in the kitchen -- and it’s probably Mr. Appliance. Mr. Appliance franchises repair all types of residential appliances, including refrigerators, stoves, washers and dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, and more. Some franchisees also repair appliances in commercial kitchens, such as walk-in freezers, steam tables, ice makers, and bar coolers. For customers who want to do their own repairs, Mr. Appliance sells replacement parts from most brand-name appliance makers, including Maytag, Frigidaire, and GE. Focused on customer service and efficiency, Mr. Appliance franchisees use a menu of service options so customers know exactly what to expect and how much it will cost. Established in 1996, Mr. Appliance has franchise locations nationwide and is part of The Dwyer Group Inc., a global franchisor that owns several other service franchises.
