ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

Founded in 1937 by Les Becker, who ran a small appliance and electrical shop on main street Rocky Mountain House. Later, around 1946, his son Ken Becker started to work with him and later took the business over until 1984 when Gordon Van’tBosch and Peter DeBruyn took the reigns. As the business grew, the small shop also needed to grow, so in 1988 the new shop was built at 5202 44 St in Rocky with a 2800 sq ft showroom and 4850 sq ft warehouse for appliances and electrical parts. The current owners, Ron and Chris bought the business in 2015.
