D&K Appliances is a trusted cornerstone of the community, providing top-quality home appliances with a personal touch that only a locally owned store can offer. Known for its knowledgeable staff, exceptional customer service, and a commitment to reliability, D&K has helped generations of families find the perfect solutions for their kitchens, laundry rooms, and more. Whether you’re upgrading your home or replacing a longtime favorite, D&K Appliances continues to deliver dependable products and friendly, expert advice you can count on.
For the past 60 years, the friendly and helpful folks at D&K have been providing the care and expert service that loyal customers have come to know and trust, serving homeowners and commercial businesses in Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties.
Tom McIntyre purchased the business in 1988 from partners Dan Cosfol and Bob Krunkel and it still remains in the McIntyre family. Tom met Dan and Bob when he worked for General Electric (GE) as a manufacturing supervisor for 20 years. “During that time, I had the opportunity to work
with various appliance companies in the area. Over the years, Tom formed a solid relationship built on trust and work ethic. When it came time for Dan and Bob to sell their business, they approached Tom.
Although leaving a company like GE to run his own business was a big risk, Tom said was prepared for the challenge. “D&K was already established in Newtown Square and had a good reputation for quality sales and service,” he explained. “I had the manufacturing experience and the desire to run my own business to provide for my family’s future. Dan agreed to stay on as an employee to help with the transition. He ended up staying for 20 years,” laughed Tom. “All kidding aside, Dan Cosfol was instrumental in training and mentoring our sales team.”
Another reason Tom wanted to own his own business was that he hoped that someday his kids would join him. Tom’s son Dan McIntyre became part owner and President of D&K Appliances two and a half years ago. His daughter, Karen Farrelly, is D&K’s Chief Financial Officer and his son-in-law,
Mike Fitz is their Chief Operating Officer.
The third generation is also part of the team, Tom’s granddaughter, Mackenzie manages the sales department, marketing and social media. Another one of his granddaughters, Ashley assists with showroom vignette design and is a member of the sales team. “Yes, we are a family-owned business,” said Dan. “But we consider everyone who works at D&K part of our family. So much so that everyone calls my father, Tom, Pop.”
Not only has the D&K family grown over the years, so has the business. Located on the Eastbound side of West Chester Pike, D&K’s impressive 12,000-square-foot showroom features two floors of the latest appliances from refrigerators, dishwashers and ranges to washers, dryers and outdoor grills. D&K also opened a new 3,500 sq ft showroom and store in Flourtown last May.
Customers come to D&K Appliances because they want answers from a knowledgeable sales team, fast delivery from a local warehouse, and service from a team of technicians that knows how to keep appliances working. “Our field technicians and installers complete 70-80 jobs every day,” Dan said. “Whether you need a new appliance installed or a repair to your existing appliance, our expert technicians will deliver quality service and offer valued advice.” They now have an outside sales representative, Agnesa Nuredini, for contractors looking for a connection. Anyone interested can reach out to the store directly.
The success of D&K Appliances is based on the company’s standard of excellence and its core values. “We are the dependable difference because we are dedicated to Excellence, Integrity, Customer Service and Dependability,” Dan explained. “We treat our customers like family, not only because we live and work here, but also because supporting our local community is important to us.”
D&K Appliances is frequently involved in local events, donating to local charities and supporting our schools. They also work with the Marple Newtown High School’s football team and other local students to provide internships and community service work. “Each year, we hire students from different schools in the area to teach them about the appliance industry, business best practices as well as hands on sales and operation experience,” said Dan. “We are always grateful for the support of our community so we really want to give back to our friends and neighbors.”
