Crutchfield Founder's story
Drawing on a lifetime interest in electronics, Bill Crutchfield launched a car stereo mail order business, using his family name to ensure his own emotional investment in its success. However, in its first year, his new company faced bankruptcy if Bill didn't do something drastic. Based on customer feedback, he reimagined Crutchfield as an information resource. The business took off, and today Crutchfield is an award-winning online and catalog retailer of premium consumer electronics, serving customers in the United States and Canada.
"Only a handful of companies have remained in business for 50 years. An even smaller number remain under the same ownership for this length of time. And a tiny, tiny subset remains under the same ownership and management for 50 years. That makes Crutchfield an exceedingly rare company." - Bill Crutchfield
