Who's Bernie?
We hear that question all the time. Bernie is Bernard Rosenberg, who founded Bernie’s in 1947. Bernie was an enterprising gas station owner who had many friends in the community. After the war he realized the opportunity to help people purchase their first television set.
Initially, he sold televisions and radios from his gas station and as customer demand increased, Bernie opened his first showroom, Bernie's TV and Appliance, in Bloomfield, Connecticut in 1953. Bernie, with the help of his son Milton and other family members, continued to grow and expand the business. Today, his son Milton runs the business with the same commitment to customer service his dad was devoted to nearly 60 years ago.
A portion of the company is also owned by employees. So, in some way, everyone who works at Bernie’s is Bernie, too.
