Gulgren Appliance
Gulgren Appliance Celebrates 50 Years in Crystal Lake.

In the spring of 1959, brothers Leroy and Gene Gulgren opened their appliance store in Crystal Lake. Since then, the family-owned-and-operated appliance sales and service center has served residents of McHenry County.

Today, brothers-in-law Mike Gulgren and Greg Danielson own and manage the business, which was expanded in 2008 to more than 5,000 square feet of showroom space and a 7,200 square foot, heated warehouse. Gulgren’s in-house sales, delivery, installation, service and parts departments make them the county’s only full-service appliance center. Stop in at Gulgrens, on Route 176, between Route 14 and Oak Street, in Crystal Lake. Call 815-459-4380 or visit www.gulgren.com for more information.
