About Us
Sherman’s is a family owned and operated retailer of appliances, electronics, furniture and mattresses with three Central Illinois stores. We focus on three things: Having the most expert, caring employees; measuring our productivity to keep costs in line, and selling at chain store prices. It’s a combination you won’t often find.
We started in 1976, when Jack and Sharon Sherman opened a one-room store in Peoria, IL with an eclectic mix of products including Litton Microwave ovens. From the start, Jack and Sharon’s motto was “Deal Direct With The Owners And Save.” They quickly expanded into full line appliances and electronics, adding stores in Bloomington/Normal and LaSalle/Peru in the early 80’s. Furniture and bedding were later added to the offerings as the business continued to grow in the 80’s and 90’s.
Today the business is headed by Paul Sherman and a team of experienced managers. The company has been expanding quickly in the past few years, with a new store in Peru and a new Distribution Center in Peoria. Both nationally recognized for design and efficiency, Sherman’s continues to set the standard by combining big-chain pricing with old fashioned family service.
