About Us

Gabowitz Radio was founded by Herman Gabowitz in 1934 when he opened the very first location in a tiny store on Nelson Street in New Brunswick, NJ. Owned and operated by the family, Herman was joined by his sister Lillian who helped run the store for him and continued to do until her retirement in 2006. At that time, radios were the wave of the future and that was our main business - radio sales and repair. As the industry moved more towards televisions and consumer appliances Gabowitz Radio needed to change with the times as well, hence the new name Gabowitz TV & Appliance. 1975 was a banner year for the company. Two major events occurred; Herman's nephew, Kenneth Kohn joined the company full time after working with the company since the young age of 16 and later that year they also opened an additional store in East Brunswick, NJ which became the flagship location as a result of the redevelopment in New Brunswick by Johnson & Johnson.

In 1993, a major change of hands took place when Kenneth Kohn acquired the family business. Since then Kenny has been the company's President, as well as the icon for Gabowitz TV & Appliance. In 1998 we moved again to 272 Route 18 in East Brunswick, where we remained for 10 years.

In our efforts to satisfy the growing industry demands, as of March 1, 2008 we are relocating to our brand new showroom located at 261 Route 18 South, East Brunswick, NJ.

Gabowitz carries a full line of major appliances and electronics. We specialize in everyday brands to high-end products, all at competitive pricing.
