Back in 1950, Mentor TV began in a small shop on what was then a quiet stretch of Mentor Avenue. Founded by Bill Tompkins and Chuck Ward, the business was built on a simple but powerful idea: to bring the exciting new world of television to the residents of Mentor and the surrounding communities. That vision–paired with a commitment to quality and service–has kept Mentor TV a local favorite for 75 years, proudly remaining in the Tompkins family to this day.
Bill and Chuck recognized the growing popularity of television and created a place where people could not only purchase cutting-edge electronics, but also learn how to use them with confidence. From the earliest black-and-white sets to today's ultra-high-definition home theaters, Mentor TV has grown with the times, always evolving to offer the latest in technology while never losing sight of what matters most: exceptional customer service and a personal touch.
We've proudly served generations of customers–helping them transition from cathode ray tube TVs to rear projection units, then to flat-screen HDTVs, projectors, and immersive surround sound systems. Through the rise of big box stores and rapid industry changes, we've remained a trusted name thanks to the loyalty of customers who value expert guidance, professional installation, and personalized support.
As we celebrate 75 years in business, we are incredibly thankful for the families and individuals who have made us a part of their homes and their lives. Whether you're upgrading your system or building a custom home theater, Mentor TV is here to help you get the most out of your home entertainment experience.
