History

Established in 1946.

In 1946, Luke Russell wrote a letter to his brother-​in-​law Howard Pykles in Fairbault, MN, informing him of an opportunity to buy out a paint and appliance business that was owned by his two brothers Earl and Harmon. Luke had been honorably discharged from the Army Air Corps, and was working for his brothers after the war.

Howard sold everything he had and left 25 years of experience in the newspaper business to move his wife and son to California and purchase the business.

Originally named «Russell’s Plumbing Hardware Appliance and Paint», Howard and Luke formed a partnership in pursuit of their American Dream which lasted until 1967. A year after opening a second store in the Spring Valley area, Luke became the sole owner of the new store as Howard kept the original location at 4611 University Ave.

Then in 1971, Howard’s son Craig joined the business and became the sole owner in 1977 when his father retired. Craig and his son Tobias run the business today.
