Retailer launches spring push

P.C. Richard & Son on April 15 launched a spring sales campaign built around air conditioners, grills, air purifiers and other home-upgrade products for Northeast shoppers.

The company highlighted window and portable air conditioners, Weber grills, dehumidifiers, fire pits and patio furniture. (prnewswire.com) P.C. Richard & Son said store staff are pitching practical details, including British Thermal Unit sizing, room coverage and energy-efficiency ratings for air conditioners. On its website this week, the company was listing window air conditioners from $159.97 and Weber pellet grills from $999.

Richard & Son ran Presidents’ Day appliance and mattress promotions in February 2026, a game-day television campaign in January 2026 and a summer air-conditioner and grill campaign in June 2025.

In this campaign, cooling products and outdoor cooking gear are being marketed as part of the same spring home-refresh purchase. (prnewswire.com 1) (prnewswire.com 2) The company says it is the largest family-owned appliance, electronics and mattress retailer in the Northeast, with showrooms across four states. Its corporate history says the business began in Brooklyn in 1909 as a hardware store before expanding into appliances in the 1920s. (prnewswire.com) (pcrichard.com) That long appliance history is central to the sales pitch. The company’s history page says it built its reputation around selling and servicing household equipment as electrification changed what people bought for their homes. (pcrichard.com) The latest campaign keeps that message in seasonal form: buy the hardware for summer now, with a local store network and immediate inventory as the main draw. (prnewswire.com)
