M&M Appliance Sales and Service, Inc. Files for Bankruptcy
After nearly 30 years of operations, the company made a voluntary filing on March 30, 2026. Case details can be found on PACER. Filing records state the case is being held in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.).
As per case details available on BK Data, the latest filing was made under Subchapter V of Chapter 11.
Company Background
M & M Appliance Sales and Service, Inc. has been serving customers with a wide range of products since its inception in 1997.
Besides its three retail locations, the company offers sales, delivery, and service to many other D.C. area locations. These include Bel Air, MD, Bethesda, Potomac, Takoma Park, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, and Aberdeen, MD.
As of now, it has around 55 employees serving across locations.
Owner Michael Greenwald, in a statement shared through the website, stressed on the problem of “global appliance shortage,” which the retail company currently faces. Greenwald said that the shortage is a result of delays in the supply chain of the raw materials used by manufacturers. As a result, the company sometimes struggles to meet the higher demand for home appliances.
