Celebrate the story of Bernie's, a Connecticut family retailer that began in 1947 with televisions and radios for local customers. The first Bernie's TV and Appliance showroom opened in Bloomfield in 1953. After the original stores were sold, Milton Rosenberg returned to the name and rebuilt the business, which eventually served communities across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Its remaining stores closed in 2010. This hoodie or sweatshirt is for former customers and collectors drawn to New England retail history.
Bernie's began in 1947, when Connecticut gas station owner Bernard Rosenberg started selling televisions and radios to local customers. As demand grew, he opened Bernie's TV and Appliance, the company’s first showroom, in Bloomfield, Connecticut, in 1953. With his son Milton and other family members, he built the business into a New England family-owned retailer of audio, video, televisions, appliances, and bedding. In 1985, the Rosenberg family sold its five stores to Newmark & Lewis. Milton left that company in 1990 and bought back the Bernie's name for $1 after Newmark & Lewis went bankrupt and closed in 1991. He rebuilt the chain from one store to ten by 1999. The company moved its headquarters and warehouse to Enfield in 2004 and had 15 stores by the end of 2009, across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. After mounting losses, Bernie's filed for bankruptcy on January 14, 2010. Liquidation sales concluded and the remaining stores closed on February 28, 2010.
