About Us
DEDICATION TO CUSTOMER SERVICE
In 1969 the Agren family business was a phone and two repair trucks.
Routine weekday calls for appliance repair, emergency responses on weekends
and over critical holiday periods helped build Agren’s reputation for reliability
with many Maine families.
Following the establishment of the first store in Auburn—offering one appliance
brand, Whirlpool, in 1978—the business experienced its first major shift in
culture, attaching a retail presence to a name already familiar in the
Lewiston-Auburn and surrounding communities.
A PATTERN OF GROWTH
As sales, brand offerings and our service arm steadily grew, another store was
added in Brunswick in 1983, and then a third in South Paris in 1986. The fourth
Agren Appliance store opened its doors on Foden Road in South Portland in
1993, and the fifth was established along the Mid-Coast, in Damariscotta in 2000
(later moved to a busier Rt. 1, in Waldoboro, in 2006). In October of 2007,
Agren Appliance opened its sixth store, in the Augusta Plaza, on Western Avenue
in Augusta, Maine.
MAJOR-BRAND APPLIANCES, TVs & MORE
Customers visiting any Agren store location will find a wide assortment of products
from all the major appliance and TV brands available. In addition, at the Auburn
and South Paris stores, TEMPUR-Pedic beds and a selection of furniture also make
up part of our busy showrooms.
COMMUNITY
We are asked throughout the year to make monetary and/or product donations
to dozens of worthy organizations, charities and family or event-specific
fundraisers. We say yes to these requests more often than not, either
with monetary contributions, gift certificates or, in what has become increasingly
popular, with donations of items for silent auctions—to which we give small
appliances such as toaster ovens, microwave ovens, coffee-makers, bread grills
and the like to help these community organizations with their events.
OUR ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTERS
In Auburn & South Paris
We also make available to local Chambers of Commerce, nonprofits, schools
and charitable organizations, the large electronic outdoor signs at our Auburn and
S. Paris stores when these organizations have a special event or fundraiser to
promote. Up to 50% of our signs’ messaging is dedicated to announcing these
community enhancing efforts.
