The showrooms of the past featured mostly universal displays filled with uninspiring designs and minimal product mix. That was until the design revolution of the 1980s when forward-thinkers started sourcing inspiration and product from Europe. Among these design pioneers is Andy Wilkinson, second-generation leader of Raleigh, North Carolina-based Wilkinson Supply.
Wilkinson Supply started out as a six-person operation selling plumbing supplies in Raleigh, North Carolina. Bill Wilkinson, the company’s founder, established a commitment to a customer-first mentality fueled by hard work and dedication. This commitment has carried Wilkinson Supply to growth for nearly 60 years. And the company’s unique showrooms filled with exclusive product have earned it the 2023 Supply House Times Showroom of the Year Award.
