The business started with Peter Christiaan Richard ("P.C.") who was born in 1882 in Amsterdam, Holland. P.C. came to America as a young man. He delivered milk, learned the tinsmith trade, and performed repair jobs for people in his community. By the early 1900's he had saved enough money to open a small hardware store in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

P.C.'s son, Alfred J. Richard ("A.J.") was born in 1909. A.J. grew up in the business alongside P.C., serving customers from a very young age. A.J. expanded the hardware store by selling the first refrigerators, washers, dryers, televisions, radios, toasters, irons and other consumer electronics and appliances as they became available in the marketplace. These industry firsts established P.C. Richard & Son as a pioneer in our industry.

Over the years, the business has grown and flourished. Today, P.C. Richard & Son is recognized as America’s #1 Family Owned & Operated Appliance & Electronics Retailer. There are currently five family members representing the third and fourth generation actively working in the Company. Gary Richard, CEO; and Peter Richard II, Executive Vice President. Gary’s children: Gregg, President; and Bonni, Human Resources Manager; and Peter’s son: Peter III, Operations Manager.
