Mickey Shorr

Mickey Shorr is a Michigan-based retailer specializing in car audio systems, remote starters, and a wide range of vehicle accessories. The company was founded in 1967 with a single store in Detroit, gradually building its reputation through steady expansion across Southeast Michigan. Over the decades, Mickey Shorr became known for its expertise in automotive electronics and its commitment to customer service, which helped it grow into one of the largest independent car audio chains in the Midwest.

A significant milestone in the company’s history occurred in the late 1990s, when Mickey Shorr was acquired by ABC Warehouse, a regional leader in electronics and appliances. This move strengthened Mickey Shorr’s position in the automotive sector and provided additional resources for growth and operational stability.

As of November 2025, Mickey Shorr operates 16 stores, all located within Michigan. The company has maintained this footprint over the past several years, choosing to focus on upgrading its existing locations and installation facilities rather than pursuing expansion into new markets. Most stores are situated in high-visibility suburban corridors and near major retail centers, offering both showroom experiences and professional installation bays that serve individual consumers and commercial fleet clients.

In the last five years, Mickey Shorr has continued to invest in its core business, adapting to advancements in automotive technology such as smart vehicle systems and commercial fleet upgrades. The brand’s consistent store model, established local reputation, and full-service approach make it a reliable anchor for retail properties. Its operational stability and ongoing investment in facilities are valued by property owners and brokers looking for tenants with proven longevity and regional credibility. The company’s headquarters is in Pontiac, Michigan, and its leadership team brings substantial experience in retail operations and real estate management. While Mickey Shorr is not currently expanding outside Michigan, its established presence and focus on service continue to set it apart in the automotive retail landscape.
