Mountain High Appliance: A Brief History



Locally Owned and Operated for Over 28 Years, Mountain High Appliance Keeps Its Heart In Colorado



A Flagship Is Born:
It’s 1993, and Brad Barnett decided to take a leap of faith that would result in creating Colorado’s most complete appliance retail resource. He had been repairing and selling appliances out of his garage before seeing the opportunity to expand and began selling new appliances through a dealer agreement with Whirlpool and Viking. A 1900 square foot showroom was soon opened in Louisville, CO and then expanded to 12,000 sq. ft., so he could install beautifully designed, fully functional LIVE kitchens. Brad’s industry-groundbreaking Try-Before-You-Buy Experience was begun. This flagship location is still in operation today.



The Young Mountain High Appliance Heads West:
 
In 2011, to serve the mountain communities, a showroom and staff were established in Glenwood Springs, CO. MHA still serves the builder community and retail clientele with professional sales staff and a dedicated delivery and installation crew.


The Sky's The Limit - A Colorado Springs Destination Retail Spot Takes Flight: 
2012 brought an opportunity to acquire another family owned business, “Shouse Appliance”, who had been serving Colorado Springs, CO for nearly 60 years. Brad took over this business, remodeled the entire showroom and outfitted the location with a dedicated professional appliance retail staff. This destination for kitchen appliance aficionados remains at its original Academy Blvd. location today.



Growth Continues ... The Bigger The Better! 
“To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart.” Growth continued for MHA in 2018, with a new 84,000 sq. ft. Warehouse and office space, which was soon expanded to include a new larger Clearance Center later that year. In September, Brad opened his largest showroom yet, a 15,000 sq. ft. eye-popping and inspiring destination in Littleton, CO, creating the best display for top-of-the-line appliances in the best LIVE setting available in Colorado.
