The original Stabler’s A-1 Appliance has been in the area since 1961, when Walt and Joanne Stabler, Paul’s parents, opened the store in a warehouse on County Road 100A. The store is now at 548 Kentucky Ave., off East Street in Woodland.

Now at their new location, customers enjoy easy access from the I-5 freeway.

Paul and his wife, Carman have owned Stabler’s A-1 Appliance for 18 years.

“Now in business for 62 years, I started helping my parents in the store when I was about 13 or 14 years old. They really got things established, and when Carman and I took over in 2005, it was pretty well-known for quality appliances and service,” Paul said.
