The Merger

Dick Christman Appliance was founded in the mid 1950's by Dick Christman himself. Mr. Christman quickly became the largest RCA/Whirlpool dealer in Oklahoma with his famous kind streak and his award winning customer service. Tony Ashcraft is the third owner of Dick Christman Appliance and with his business intelligence and a resurgence in customer service after 25 years as owner Ashcraft has merged two great companies.

Modern Home Appliance was founded in 1964 by Joe Young and his father as a way to provide for their family. "When we came here, we traded my mother's car for a delivery truck," said Young, 70. "We didn't have much." Modern Home Appliance has been a mainstay in the home building industry, selling appliances to builders for the last 26 years. Young was ready for retirement and Ashcraft seized the opportunity to merge two of the oldest family owned appliance stores in Oklahoma. "We haven't gone out of business. We've grown. It makes us a more round appliance store - ready for the next 15-20 years." Ashcraft said. Dick Christman Appliance has always prided itself on low prices and service after the sell.

Ashcraft, never being afraid of new technology, started the stores new website where customers can go to search product lines, email questions to the store, find our phone numbers, or even just to get directions to the new location. Dick Christman and Modern Home Appliance, now merged, needed a new name and it is Dick Christman's Modern Home Appliance. We still service most major appliance brands, excel at customer service, and have excellent prices on appliances like those from: Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid, Maytag, Amana, Frigidaire, Wolf, Sub Zero, Estate, and Crosley.
