Still family owned.
Still on Mentor Ave.
In 1950, Bill Tompkins and Chuck Ward opened a small shop to bring the exciting new world of television to Mentor and the surrounding communities. Seventy-five years later, the business is still proudly run by the Tompkins family — through every shift the industry has thrown at it.
We've helped generations move from cathode ray tubes to rear projection, to flat-screen HDTVs, to today's immersive home theaters — always with the same expert guidance and personal touch that started it all.
