Advance Electronics is a people first business and this shows in all interactions they have with their customers and business partners.

Privately owned local businesses like Advance Electronics take pride in ensuring customer satisfaction and repeat business.

For a great shopping experience in the Winnipeg area there is no better place to go than Advance Electronics, for best in class product, people and service.

I look forward to many more years working with Rob and Advance.

history
A lot of things change in 70 years...

Advance's selection of quality electronics, devotion to customer service, and support of the community are not one of them.

Arnold Frieman, a holocaust survivor and pilot during the War of Independence, came to Winnipeg more than 70 years ago seeking a fresh start in life. That fresh start included the founding of Advance Electronics, the largest independently-owned retail electronics store in Western Canada, and becoming a pillar of the Winnipeg community.

Advance is Winnipeg's iconic electronics store for good reason.
