3440 Grand Ave, Gurnee. My father (Gus Petropoulos) and Uncle (Nick Petropoulos) owned Petropoulos Brothers for 55 years! My Dad and his brother Nick were pioneers in marketing and providing an amazing “customer experience”. The store not only served the home appliance needs of the community, but became a destination of events and celebration in the area. They sponsored turkey giveaways during Thanksgiving, prominent sports figures from the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bears, and family fun events throughout the year. My Uncle had a huge sunflower field on the east side of this property in later years. Currently (2018) it is occupied by a thrift store.

I worked at Petropolous Bros. for a short time after my second child was born. I remember you, Sofia, as a darling little girl around 3 years old. Your father adored you! Mr. Nick would make lunch for everyone on Saturdays (I believe) and Mr. Gus was always a kind gentleman.
