Park Supply of America

What Park Supply of America does

Park Supply of America, Inc. is a private wholesale and retail distributor of plumbing, heating, HVAC, electrical, hardware, appliances, lighting, janitorial, and tools products, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founded in 1983 by Robert Jaglow and Gordy Wicherman, the company offers over 30,000 stock items plus 70,000+ non-stock items sourced through relationships with more than 3,000 domestic and international vendors, including authorized wholesaler agreements with manufacturers such as Honeywell, Sloan, Delta, Kohler, Watts, Chicago Faucets, American Standard, and Westinghouse. The core technical capability is hard-to-find and outdated parts sourcing supported by staff with 20-30+ years of plumbing and heating experience, augmented by a Text-A-Pro service and a 24-hour emergency parts line.

Revenue is generated through one-time product transactions at unit-level wholesale and retail pricing, with promotional discounts applied on selected items. The go-to-market is hybrid: outside sales representatives cover the Midwest, inside sales cover the entire United States, and a global e-commerce storefront at parksupplyofamerica.com serves B2B and B2C customers nationally and internationally. Customer segments span governmental entities, universities and K-12 schools, healthcare facilities, multi-family housing operators, office buildings, entertainment venues, contractors, and homeowners; the company reports that every major institution of higher learning in Minnesota is a customer and that over 90% of retail customers are repeat buyers. Park Supply holds Minority Business Enterprise certification and has no disclosed external institutional investors.

Direct peers

• Ferguson Enterprises: Ferguson is the largest US wholesale distributor of plumbing, heating, HVAC, and waterworks products, serving contractors and institutional buyers nationwide. It is the closest large-scale analog to Park Supply's core plumbing-and-heating distribution model.
• Watsco: Watsco is the largest US distributor of HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing products, serving contractors and dealers through a multi-branch network. Highly comparable to Park Supply's HVAC/plumbing wholesaling motion and brand-authorized distribution.
• Winsupply: Winsupply is a cooperative-style wholesale distributor of plumbing, HVAC, and industrial supplies serving contractors across the US. Direct overlap with Park Supply on plumbing/HVAC contractor sales and authorized-brand wholesaling.
• Johnstone Supply: Johnstone Supply is a US wholesale distributor of HVAC and refrigeration equipment and parts, organized as a co-op serving independent contractor members. Comparable to Park Supply on HVAC wholesaling, technical support, and authorized-brand relationships.
• Rexel USA: Rexel is a global electrical and plumbing distributor serving contractors, industrials, and institutions through branch networks. Overlaps with Park Supply on wholesale distribution of plumbing and electrical supplies to institutional buyers.

Broad incumbents

• W.W. Grainger: Grainger is a broad-line industrial MRO distributor with a much larger catalog and national footprint. While it carries plumbing, HVAC, and electrical supplies, it competes as a wide-spectrum incumbent rather than as a plumbing/HVAC specialist.
• HD Supply (now White Cap): HD Supply/White Cap is a large national distributor of construction and maintenance products serving contractors and institutional customers. Overlaps with Park Supply on B2B building-supply distribution but across a far broader portfolio.
• Ace Hardware (Ace Wholesale): Ace Hardware is a broad-line hardware cooperative whose retail members also stock plumbing, heating, and electrical repair parts. Adjacent to Park Supply's contractor/homeowner mix but at much broader retail scale.

Emerging players

• Reliance Worldwide Corporation: Reliance Worldwide manufactures and distributes specialty plumbing and water-control products including SharkBite and Cash Acme. It sits upstream of Park Supply as a brand vendor but competes for the same specialty-plumbing shelf space and contractor mindshare.

Regional players

• US LBM: US LBM is a leading national distributor of building materials including lumber, millwork, and specialty products serving builders and contractors. It overlaps with Park Supply on the institutional/Midwest contractor base but is anchored in structural building materials rather than plumbing/HVAC.
