Sawatzky's Furniture & Appliances

Sawatzky's Furniture and Appliances has gone through many changes over the past 64 years. Bill, Dave, and Pete Sawatzky’s father began selling appliances in 1950 from the Halbstadt location. In 1957 the three sons opened their first appliance only store in Altona where product was sold and serviced from that location until 1982; when a new shop was built at its current location in the community. August of 1985 saw an expansion to the Winkler market with the opening of an appliance store followed by the purchase of Four Season Sales in Altona, where the business began its venture into the furniture business. Four Seasons Sales was previously owned by Ben Hildebrand who continued to work for the Sawatzky’s for another 33 years.
