Marine Home Center stopped accepting orders for major appliances last year on September 25, 2023. It has completed honoring all customer orders, and has continued to provide after-sale
service and repairs.
As the company continues to focus on its core business, Marine Home Center has reached agreement with Yale Appliance to acquire its appliance service operations effective October 1, 2024. Yale is one of the largest and most service-oriented appliance companies in New England.
We believe Yale shares many of the same positive values of Marine Home Center, especially how they treat their employees and their customers. The agreement includes Marine Home Center leasing to Yale its current appliance service office location at 5 Bayberry Court.
Marine will work with Yale to ensure a smooth transition to provide continuity of appliance repair services to its Nantucket customers. Customers who purchased major appliances from Marine Home Center in the past and require service should call Yale Appliance at 617-822-5360 - option 1.
A statement from Yale Appliance VP of Operations, Leo Goncalves
“ We at Yale Applance are excited to be joining the Nantucket community and taking over on-island appliance sales and service from Marine Home Center. We have retained every Marine
Home Center Appliance employee, and are committed to continuing the excellent service that Marine Home Center has provided its employees and customers. It is our priority to ensure that
these strong relationships continue. We will put our best foot forward to serve the island.
Yale is eager to become a part of the community and looks forward to building on Marine Home Center’s legacy. After converting the Marine Appliance Service space at 5 Bayberry Court, we look forward to opening our Nantucket sales showroom in Spring 2025.
Houses were typically made up of straight lines and right angles, until now. Circle and arched windows are disrupting all that boxiness! From the outside, they add extra character that makes you look twice. While inside, their effect is just as powerful. They frame the light in such an intentional way, with Andersen® it feels like you’ve invited the sun into your home!
Our next big project in progress is the Hardware Department. We are expanding Hardware into the old carpet sample space. New fixtures have been installed and department wide re-merchandising will begin. In the first video, you can see @ack_workbench cutting short blocks to support the weight of the screws, nuts, bolts, etc. that will sit on top. As you scroll through the pictures, you can see the progress that’s been made over the past month. We expect this project to be complete by early Spring! 🔩🛠️🚧⚙️🪛

✨ NEW ✨ Dash and Albert showroom has many rug samples and rugs, in various sizes, on display and ready to shop. Televisions and accessories such as mounting brackets, universal remotes, and HDMI cables will now be sold out of Home Furnishings Showroom under the mattress loft.

The Festival of Trees is an annual holiday tradition that transforms the Whaling Museum into a winter wonderland for the month of December! Marine is the Lead Sponsor again this year.
Opening in 1944 as a lumberyard, the business expanded and in 1973 changed its name from Marine Lumber to Marine Home Center. The theme of our tree is, “Marine’s 80th Anniversary”.
The centerpiece “80 Years Serving Nantucket”, is made from wood and stained to highlight the roots of Marine Lumber Company. Many wooden 80’s hang from the tree in gold, silver and white.
Thank you Ciara McAuley and Linda McAndrews as well as Shamona Watty, Jacqui Mathers, Jeannette Oubre, and Lainie O’Brien for making a beautiful tree this year!

Marine Home Center will no longer be accepting orders for major appliances effective September 25, 2023. All customer orders processed prior to that date will be honored. Marine will continue to provide repair service support to its major appliance customers. The company will re-allocate its employees and resources to its core business. There will be no layoffs associated with this decision.
Over the past few years, Marine Home Center’s appliance business has experienced significant change. The lingering effects of the pandemic on the supply chain, long order lead times, inflation, lack of warehouse storage space, limitations in our boat reservations, scarcity of year-round housing, and a shortage of employees, have adversely impacted our major appliance business.
Marine will continue to sell room air conditioners, dehumidifiers, televisions, compact refrigerators, countertop microwaves, and garbage disposals.
Moor Studio was the key component in rebranding Marine Home Center and we can’t thank them enough for their hard work! 💚 “They turned to @moor_studio to design an updated logo that would usher them into a new era. We designed a new anchor icon in green, preserving the core design elements that are synonymous with the Marine Home Center brand which islanders have trusted for decades. We then designed and launched their new website.” - Moor Studio

Leslie Linsley Tip: “January is traditionally white sale month and the perfect time to treat yourself to a little TLC. The Bed and Bath Department is well stocked with those beautiful linens that everyone covets. Start the New Year with a bedroom, and bath makeover - quick, easy, and enormously satisfying. Take stock of your linen closet and make your bedroom and bath as luxurious an oasis as possible with new towels and lovely, elegant bedding.” 🛏
