The Greater Minden Chamber held a ribbon cutting ceremony to welcome Discount Appliance of Louisiana on Tuesday, June 28.  

Owner Brian Conditt expressed his surprise at the number of attendees that showed up in support of his new business venture. “This is one of the reasons I wanted my business to remain in Minden and Webster Parish because of the close-knit community that I will be serving,” said Conditt. “Ms. Stephanie Barnette and the greater Minden Chamber of Commerce have been nothing but supportive and I look forward to becoming more active in that organization.” 

Conditt moved to Webster Parish in 2012 and started a garbage company, Waste Commanders. He decided to sell that business in 2021 and although many of his peers tried to sway him to start anew in Bossier Parish, Conditt expressed he “definitely wanted to stay in Minden.”  

Discount Appliance of Louisiana offers brand name electronics, stoves, washers, refrigerators, home gadgets and more with minor dents and scratches.  

“We are a ‘Skint and Dent’ store for the most part. We do offer some new appliances still in the box, but the ‘Skint and Dent’ side allows us the ability to reduce the cost from 50 to 60 percent off of MSRP,” said Conditt.  

Everything in store comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty. They are also able to provide financing if needed. Go see them at 1112 Homer Road in Minden for all your appliance needs.
