LA warehouse and national internet sales operated from LA. We are proud to be part of LA LA LAND. When you shop and buy from Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center you're not only spending your money here, but your money stays here and helps support not only our LA business, but our LA sales, administrative, delivery, and installation staff. Our ownership and employees spend their money, raise their families, attend the schools, and places of worship here, and your money stays here and goes back into the LA economy.Compare this to the big chains, the no service home improvement operations, who base their businesses in the East.
