Purpose
Retail Electronic Sales
Vision
At Abt, we aim for excellence in every aspect of this multifaceted family-owned business. Whether we're helping a customer find the right home appliances, pursuing greater green initiatives, expanding our reach across the United States or growing our online Learning Center, our vision is to strive for excellence. You can see it on the side of every Abt truck that leaves our retail location in Chicagoland: we aim for "Complete Satisfaction" for our customers ... then push onward toward even higher goals.
Mission
With over 88 years of growth, Abt's mission has always been to provide unparalleled dedication to customer service, as well as product knowledge and service expertise you can't find anywhere else. As we continue to strive toward larger goals, we hold these core tenets close to heart. Serving the customer, the community and the planet is what makes Abt, Abt.
Additional Culture Details
For over 88 years, Abt has been a mainstay in the community. This family-owned business began in 1936, when Jewel Abt used her $800 life savings to start a radio shop with her husband David in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. Now headed by Jewel and David's four grandchildren, Abt is still family-owned. And while we sell much more than radios now, our culture still remains family-oriented and community-focused.
