TOWNE SPOTLIGHT
ADU, Your Appliance Source Celebrates 40th Anniversary Thomas Oliff opened ADU (Appliance Distributors Unlimited) in 1982. His flagship store in Takoma Park, Maryland, was so successful that he opened other locations and expanded manufacturers to encompass over forty different brands of appliances. After his passing in 2017, his daughters merged their three Appliance Source showrooms with his five ADU showrooms and rebranded as one company. With a vision to preserve Tom’s legacy focusing on the builder market and keep the goal of providing an excellent customer experience, they with their leadership team (VP of business development Wally Hines III, VP of Finance Nick Olenski, and VP of sales Chris Kozimor) rebranded ADU. ADU now has eight well-appointed showrooms which serve Maryland, Washington, D.C, Northern Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Delaware and carry over 50 brands. Congratulations! Learn more at adu.com. 14
