Our past is our promise to the future...

The Goodman name has been synonymous with electronics in Dallas, Texas for over fifty years.

The original Goodman store was opened on old East Grand Avenue in 1947 by two brothers fresh home from military service. Mervin and Bennett Goodman , both Forest High School graduates , returned after WWII to live their version of the American Dream. Mervin, with an electrical engineering degree from Southern Methodist University and Bennett, a graduate of Texas A&M, opened Goodman Radio and Records on historic East Grand, across the street from the Grand Avenue Bank (now Comerica) and down the street from Brownie’s Diner. The store featured rows of record bins and private listening booths, now nostalgic artifacts of the fifties. Mervin installed speakers under the eaves so elegant shoppers on Grand Avenue could hear their favorite radio broadcasts as they passed. The brothers specialized in sales and service of radios but the coming of the TV age propelled the business to new heights and the technological evolution forced a name change, from Goodman Radio and Records to Goodman Radio and TV. Imagine a time when the TV man had to install and fiddle with a wiry house antenna to pull in less than perfect pictures from newly erected transmitters on Cedar Hill. When the tuning in your set could go out for no reason - Mister Goodman was on call for his customers then - as a new breed of technicians are now. Imagine a snowy Christmas shopping season around 1959 when NBC broadcast their first FULL COLOR TV SHOWS on Thursday nights and strolling shoppers would gather around the show window of Goodman’s to gawk in amazement at the wonders and advances of the Post World War world being reinvented daily, and broadcast in “living color”.

Eventually, the brothers opened locations on Garland Road, Casa View, Northwest Highway, and in far North Dallas.

The tradition of introducing new technology to North Texas continued on through the seventies to nineties as Goodman TV became the premiere Sony outlet for North Texas and introduced Dallas to the first Walkman, first home video tape recorder, first 8mm camcorder.

In the early eighties, Albert and Mike Goodman joined their father, Mervin, and uncle in running the Goodman TV stores and maintaining the highest standards of salesmanship and courteous, honest service.

Over the decades the business grew and the nature of the electronics business has changed. But one thing has never changed at Goodman TV or Goodman TV Authorized Service. That is the way we attempt to interact with our customer base that has come to rely on us for honest, ethical repair diagnostics and service.

In 1997 Albert and Mike Goodman decided to close the retail end of their then fifty year old family business and, at the request of so many customers, continue on as a service only provider. A short time later, they entrusted their hard earned reputation to their most trusted technician, Dave Poeckes. Dave, who worked directly with Mervin Goodman, proudly carries on the traditions of quality service and honest advice.

Today, Goodman TV Authorized Service, boasts a core of dedicated technicians specializing in Warranty or Non Warranty repair of most major brands of home electronics, including Sony, Mitsubishi, Hitachi and Zenith. It would make Mervin Goodman proud to know that a majority of the men working in the service shop with him in the late eighties at Goodman TV on Belt Line are back with Dave on Keller Springs today! Additionally, Goodman’s has recently included the finest Sony technicians in town to our family of repair specialists.

As Goodman Electronics approaches it’s fifty fifth consecutive year of service to the Dallas community, we thank our neighbors for entrusting us with your needs and reaffirm our commitment to you -- our past is our promise to the future -- of friendly, reliable, and ethical service.
