# James Stewart & Son
James Stewart & Son is a fifth-generation family-run electrical, homeware and kitchenware retailer established in Kelso in 1886. Originally founded as a tinsmith's workshop, the business has evolved into a comprehensive household goods destination whilst maintaining its specialist electrical contracting credentials.
The shop serves Kelso and the Scottish Borders with a curated selection of small appliances, audio-visual equipment, kitchen gadgets, storage solutions, cookware and homeware gifts. Their product range benefits from membership with Euronics, the country's largest buying group, ensuring competitive pricing and extensive choice.
What distinguishes James Stewart & Son is their dual expertise spanning retail and professional services. They employ 17 electricians and offer comprehensive kitchen appliance installation and repair services. As approved official repair agents for Zanussi, AEG, Beko, Hoover and LEC, they provide specialist technical support beyond typical retail offerings. Their free delivery service across the TD postcode area removes barriers for customers purchasing larger items.
The business has built local reputation through eye-catching window displays featuring colourful arrangements of kitchen merchandise—displays that have won multiple competitions. Their longevity reflects genuine customer service; staff provide expert advice grounded in decades of installation and repair experience. The combination of affordable household products, professional electrical contracting, appliance repairs and friendly personal service creates a rare offering in modern retail, where family businesses typically specialise narrowly rather than serve multiple customer needs under one roof.
