The magazine surveyed more than 18,000 respondents across the country who said the Glenview retailer was their top choice over national chains including Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy and Sears.
Glenview electronics giant Abt has been named No. 1 for major appliance purchases by Consumer Reports magazine for the third consecutive year.
