History
Rufus Call Willey began selling appliances in 1932 as a door-to-door salesman of electric ranges and refrigerators. As business and clientele grew, he erected a 600-square-foot store next to his home in Syracuse, Utah during the summer of 1950.
William H. Child would wed Willey's daughter, Darlene in 1952 and took over the business in 1954 as Willey stepped down due to a fight with terminal cancer. Sheldon Child joined his brother in 1956 to operate R. C. Willey Inc. Bill's son Steve joined the firm in 1974 and over saw the electronics and appliances. Bill expanded from appliances to furniture, eventually into home exercise equipment, electronics, computers, cabinets and carpet.
