Zeglin's Home TV & Appliance is set to open a new retail store at 878 Jefferson St. in Burlington by November 1, 2026. The expansion marks the company's entry into the Burlington market, adding to its existing operations in the Quad Cities.
Why it matters
The company identified that specific appliance brands were underserved in the Burlington area, prompting the investment. Ownership chose to purchase their own building to enable efficient on-site warehousing, showroom space, and local delivery capabilities.
The new Burlington store is expected to generate 10 to 14 new jobs for the local community. The retailer has operated for 50 years and currently maintains locations in Moline and Davenport.

The details
Founded in 1974, the company will offer appliances, televisions, furniture, and outdoor cooking equipment at the new site. The store location was selected following research into housing markets, household incomes, and retail opportunities in Burlington.

Market Landscape
The expansion follows the company's Quad Cities retail consolidation model by establishing a footprint that includes both warehousing and showroom space. This approach positions the retailer to compete directly against existing regional appliance providers by owning its infrastructure.
Local residents will have access to new appliance brands and a dedicated furniture and outdoor cooking showroom starting this November. The store opening also introduces 10 to 14 new employment opportunities to the downtown Burlington area.
The takeaway
Retailers often prioritize property ownership in new markets to maintain control over their supply chain and service standards. This expansion demonstrates how established family-owned businesses leverage historical operational models to scale into neighboring territories.
