Sierra Plumbing Supply Inc. Opens Third Location
Sierra Plumbing Supply has opened a new location. An express supply counter is part of the expanded 6,000 squarefoot warehouse used for the Granite Bay Plumbing Gallery Showroom.
The company’s goal was to utilize the existing warehouse space for its showroom inventory and be able to staff it full time with two people to serve the supply counter and receive and manage the showroom receiving and will-call business.
President Jason Craig, Warehouse Manager Ken Roebuck and Sales Manager Mark Brown put the new store together in about three weeks in May and opened it on June 1.
The supply business is geared toward serving local service plumbers as well as remodel contractors with a convenient location to get all of their plumbing supplies.
Granite Bay Plumbing Gallery Folsom Supply uses almost exclusively IMARK vendors offering pipe, fittings, repair parts, water heaters, pumps, tools as well as decorative supplies. The company wants to thank all of its IMARK vendor partners and reps for working with staff on special promotions and dating to help get the new location stocked up.

The company has added an additional 25,000 square-foot of new warehouse space with roughly 3,000 square feet allotted to a new front counter area.
Staff are so excited to move in that they have dedicated an additional three hours each night to moving new product into the warehouse. They’ve moved heaters, pipe, hangers and pipe racks, just to name a few items.
