Shine Electronics

Daniel Park is the owner of Shine Electronic (no “s”) & Computer, recently relocated from West 84th Street to 137 West 83rd Street between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. He is also the store’s lead technician, who fixes all forms of electronic and computer products, including laptops, cellphones, televisions, remotes, and more, as well as wireless and wired systems in offices and homes.

The store’s name – “Shine” – is a reference to a psalm that Daniel found inspiring when he first took the helm of the repair shop almost 30 years ago. It’s also an apt description of the man himself and the cheerful countenance he wears as he greets customers from behind his new high-top counter. But don’t mistake his gentle ways for lack of drive. As one of his loyal customers, Lloyd, says, “Daniel is gutsy…[and] very resourceful. He takes on things that he may not know a lot about and gets them done. [He’s] the ultimate American immigrant success story.”
