We all know McMichaels, but did you know how long it has been around for?
As a fourth-generation family business, established in 1910 just over 110 years ago, by the McMichael brother’s Hugh and James. Both were blind and after training at The Royal Normal School for the Blind, they started a piano tuning business.
A few years later became an HMV stockist (Before HMV had their own stores, the first opening in June of 1921) – (picture of old record sleeves at bottom of blog), then in the 1960s, they became a Sony Stockist.
In 1982, our Alloa store opened its doors as Scotland very first Sony Centre and is the oldest Sony Centre in the UK. Our Sony Centre specialises in the latest Sony TV’s, Soundbars, Hifi and Cameras, and the Euronics Home Appliance department is 10 Years old this October.
As both a member of both Sony Centres and a Euronics, it allows us the ability to offer deals as good or better than the national chain stores. They have a price promise too.
They sell TV & Hifi Brands such as – Sony, Samsung, Sonos, Bose, Yamaha, Kef.
They also sell many Home Appliances like – Washing Machines and dryers, dishwashers, Fridge Freezers, Ovens, Hobs, Cookers, Microwaves, Cordless & Corded Vacuum Cleaners
And the brands they have available for these are – Bosch, Blomberg, Siemens, Beko, Samsung, Neff, Liebherr, Rangemaster, Stoves, Hoover, Leisure, Zanussi, Smeg, Hotpoint, Dyson, Shark and many more.
Having a shop like this in Alloa, with such interesting history is amazing to have, and is a better option for any home appliances needed, and easier than having to order somewhere like Amazon, when you can order local, get it delivered the same day or next, and it can even be installed for you. What better deal can you get?
