If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

For nearly seven decades, that philosophy has been the core of Lake area appliance store Jacobsen Appliances, located in Lebanon. Now, as the trusted Lake business enters a new chapter under new owner Jason Ledbetter, customers can expect the same commitment to service, quality and integrity that has made Jacobsen Appliances a household name since 1959.

And while ownership is changing, Ledbetter says the dedication to treating customers right and standing behind every sale remains firmly in place.

Founded by the Jacobsen family 67 years ago — on July 1, 1959 — Jacobsen Appliances officially transitioned to Ledbetter's ownership on May 1, 2026. While the name of the owner has changed, Ledbetter — a longtime customer of Jacobsen Appliances — is committed to delivering the same quality service that built the company over nearly seven decades. 

“Larry has been very successful with Jacobsen Appliances. I don’t want to change something that is already working,” Ledbetter said. While he may expand the company’s social media presence or make other small adjustments, the basics that made Jacobsen great — like customer service, quality products and a commitment to going the extra mile — won’t change a bit.

And to help make sure the transition is a smooth process, Larry Jacobsen, former owner, has agreed to stick around for a few months. “Our customer base makes this business succeed,” Jacobsen said. “It’s about treating people like we want to be treated. We work extremely hard, deliver on time, do things right, respect their homes, and do our best to get the job done correctly.”

That customer-first approach is one of the reasons Ledbetter was drawn to the business in the first place. As a longtime customer of Jacobsen Appliances, he has firsthand experience with the quality products and service Jacobsen Appliances provides.

Ledbetter recalls purchasing appliances from Jacobsen Appliances 14 years ago that are still performing like new. He says the company’s reputation for carrying dependable products and taking care of customers made the opportunity especially appealing.

With a professional background in sales, including positions with nationally recognized companies such as Keebler, Kellogg's and Mission Foods, Ledbetter brings extensive business experience to his new role. His wife, Angie, contributes a strong accounting background, creating a team well-equipped to guide the company into the future.

After decades of being at the helm, Jacobsen says he’s happy to pass the torch to the Ledbetters. “It has been a smooth transition. We worked to make sure it is done right. Jason and Angie were very receptive and there are just bigger and better things coming to Jacobsen Appliances,” Jacobsen enthused.

Located in Lebanon on Jefferson Ave (Hwy 5), Jacobsen Appliances sells high quality appliances such as washer/dryers, oven ranges, refrigerators, grills, and more. Just 30 minutes from the Lake, customers in mid-Missouri have trusted Jacobsen Appliances for nearly 65 years.

One of the qualities that continues to set Jacobsen Appliances apart is its in-house service department. If service on an appliance is needed, customers call Jacobsen and talk to a person right here, rather than being routed to a distant call center. “We service our own products. You never have to dial a 800 number,” Jacobsen said.

Whether it's a small replacement part, a single appliance purchase, or a large multi-unit project, every customer receives the same attention to service, quality and care that has defined Jacobsen Appliances for nearly 70 years. 

If you need to replace your old appliances or simply want to upgrade, give Jacobsen Appliances a call at 417-532-7152 or visit their website at www.jacobsenappliances.com or Facebook page.
