Lorenz Appliances named Dealer of the Year<br />
Integrity and reliability have<br />
been pillars of Lorenz Appliances<br />
since Don Lorenz Sr. opened<br />
the family business in the 1960s.<br />
Now, his sons, Don Jr. and<br />
Brett, continue serving suburban<br />
residents with that same level of<br />
customer service amid growth<br />
that includes a new builders<br />
showroom in Mokena.<br />
The efforts of Lorenz has not<br />
gone unnoticed — by customers<br />
or in the industry. On Aug.<br />
24, Don Jr. and Brett accepted<br />
Lorenz’s award as Dealer of the<br />
Year in its chapter (of nearly<br />
1,000 stores). The honor was<br />
given by Brandsource, a buying<br />
agency associated with about<br />
4,500 companies nationwide.<br />
Don Jr. said Lorenz utilizes<br />
Brandsource’s resources, which<br />
has helped with its constant<br />
growth and success (up 25 percent<br />
from 2018, he said).<br />
The success stems from an allegiance<br />
to customer service and<br />
competitive pricing.<br />
“I’m not out to gouge anyone<br />
or get rich out of a deal,” Brett<br />
said. “My father always said<br />
treat a customer fairly and they<br />
will come back to you.”<br />
And the service extends until<br />
the end of the process to the delivery.<br />
Many appliance giants outsource<br />
delivery services. The<br />
disconnect in the process leads<br />
to a lack of accountability. But<br />
with Lorenz, the customer will<br />
know and can trust who is delivering<br />
their product, emphasizing<br />
the company’s motto: Not the<br />
biggest. Just the best.<br />
“Being an independent dealer,<br />
we’re able to take care of customers,”<br />
Don Jr. said. “We keep<br />
a high level of customer service<br />
unti our products get delivered.<br />
And we stand buy those products.<br />
“Good customer service and<br />
competitive pricing has us winning<br />
over box stores.”<br />
Lorenz Appliances carries the<br />
top brands and latest models in<br />
a full catalogue of appliances,<br />
from a variety of refrigerators,<br />
ovens, and washers and dryers to<br />
air conditioners, humidifiers and<br />
outdoor cooking equipment.<br />
Visitors to Lorenzappliance.<br />
com can find the latest addition<br />
to Lorenz’s inventory, as<br />
well as information on current<br />
sales, promotions and upcoming<br />
events. Already with a flagship<br />
store in Homewood (18320 Governors<br />
Highway), Lorenz’s added<br />
a modern showroom at 19081<br />
Old LaGrange Road in Mokena<br />
in 2018, allowing Lorenz Appliances<br />
to better serve its friends<br />
across the southwest suburbs.<br />
Lorenz Appliances was the<br />
winner of a 22nd Century Media<br />
SouthWest Choice Award for the<br />
Best Appliance Store in the area,<br />
according to residents’ votes.<br />
Submitted by Lorenz Appliances,<br />

and 19081 Old LaGrange<br />
Road, Mokena. For more information,<br />
