The snow is melting, the weather is warming and things are finally starting to look up after a tough winter. We at Abt are excited for a lot of things on the horizon, from fun giveaways (yes, plural) to future trips from the Easter Bunny. But before we dive into spring, we’d like to take a moment and thank some of our amazing staff members: Abt’s Spring 2022 Star Employees. Each of…
If we could pick any one word to represent 2021 so far, it would be “change”. From the in-progress addition of our new expanded warehouse to continually in-flux product availability, our team of employees has never been better at rolling with the punches. Some of this year’s changes have been exciting, from new faces joining the team to new announcements and products on the way from favorite tech giants. Other adjustments have…

Today we wished a fond farewell and happy retirement to four very special long-time employees: Terry, Bern, Wayne, and Debby. Together, this group has over 150 total years of experience at Abt. They have worked in just about every department that’s ever existed, each contributing something special. In 2017, we honored Terry on his 50th anniversary at Abt. He started as a teenager in our warehouse, and retires with the longest active…
Although Abt is just one store, more than 1500 employees work together to help keep us operating smoothly.

For nearly twenty-four years, Lenny graced our salesfloor and phone lines, helping countless customers find the perfect appliances for their homes. In his spare time, Lenny is an avid and accomplished fisherman (hence the theme of his going away party). Years ago, Lenny spearheaded the plan to get our 2-acre retention pond stocked with fish. Today, it’s…
