Remember a regional retailer built by a Connecticut family with this Bernie's T-shirt. Bernard Rosenberg began selling televisions and radios in 1947, followed by the first Bernie's TV and Appliance showroom in Bloomfield in 1953. After a sale in 1985, Milton Rosenberg brought the name back in 1991 and rebuilt the chain to ten stores by 1999. This design celebrates the company's New England roots and the shoppers who followed its story through its final store closures in 2010.
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.
