On "Seinfeld", which store hired Jerry to do a commercial for them?

The story behind the answer

On "Seinfeld," Leapin' Larry's hired Jerry to appear in a commercial for the appliance store. The story appears in Season 7, Episode 7, "The Secret Code," which originally aired on November 9, 1995.

Leapin' Larry is the store's owner, a man with a prosthetic leg. Jerry is supposed to help promote the business, but his foot falls asleep during a meeting. When he limps across the store to wake it up, Larry assumes Jerry is mocking his disability and cancels the commercial arrangement.

Jerry later returns to apologize and try again. Unfortunately, his foot falls asleep a second time. He stomps on it to restore circulation, accidentally knocking over flammable liquid near exposed electrical wiring. The resulting fire destroys the store, while Kramer's reckless attempt to help the firefighters makes the disaster even worse.

A common mix-up is remembering Leapin' Larry's only as the appliance store that burns down. The store's full description in the episode is Leapin' Larry's Appliance Store, while the quiz's shorter name identifies the same business.
