Owners of Ciemack's Northside Appliance tell meeting their family store offers free installation and financing
Summary
Matt and Mike Ciemack told a public meeting that their third-generation Ciemack's Northside Appliance, founded in 1951 and based in Struthers, sells major kitchen and laundry appliances, provides free delivery and installation for freestanding units, and offers financing through Synchrony Bank and Snap Finance.
Matt Ciemack, president of Ciemack's Northside Appliance, and Mike Ciemack, the company’s vice president, addressed a public meeting in Struthers to describe their family-owned appliance business and the services it offers. They said the store has been in operation since 1951, moved to Struthers in the early 1950s and has been in its present building since the late 1960s.
"What really sets us apart is the fact that we're a third generation owned family business," Mike Ciemack said, saying the store emphasizes product knowledge, staff expertise and local service. Both speakers described free delivery and installation for freestanding appliances through Holloway and said the store carries major kitchen and laundry brands, including Speed Queen, Café by GE, Frigidaire Professional, KitchenAid, Maytag and Amana.
The owners described financing options for customers who need immediate replacement when an appliance fails. "Every day, we have 12 months same as cash through Synchrony Bank," Matt Ciemack said, and he added the store also offers low-credit and no-credit options through Snap Finance. They said most products include a standard manufacturer warranty and that the store helps customers connect with service providers for warranty work.
Both men framed the business as locally rooted: "If you shop with us, you're gonna — you're get — you're dealing with local people. Our money is local. We keep our money local. We hire local people," Matt Ciemack said. He added that when customers call, they can speak with the owners rather than a distant call center.
The comments were presented as a public-facing description of the store's history, product mix and customer services; no formal action or request to the meeting body was recorded.
