Our Story
Family Roots, Future Trends
More than Appliances — We're Home Experts
Our journey began in 1970 as a local family business, Stan's TV, founded by Stan and Judy Meyer. Through dedication and community support, we grew into a trusted full-line Appliance and Electronics store.
In 2023, we proudly joined the Hometrends family. Based in Kearney, Nebraska, Hometrends has been a cornerstone of the Nebraska home goods market—specializing in furniture, appliances, and mattresses—since 1952. With this partnership, we were reborn as BrandSource Appliance of Beatrice, combining deep local knowledge with decades of industry expertise. We also strive to be the employer of choice in our communities, providing excellent career options, growth and development opportunities and outstanding benefits.
Your Home, Your Value
As your local BrandSource Appliance of Beatrice, we leverage the massive purchasing power of over 2,000 BrandSource members nationwide. This growth in buying power means one thing for you: unbeatable value.
