Sink & Spout

What Sink & Spout does

Sink & Spout is a multi-brand specialty retailer of bathroom, kitchen, and lighting fixtures, operating a network of 19-21 physical showrooms across six New England states (Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Rhode Island). Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Concord, New Hampshire, the company carries products from 40+ premium manufacturers including Kohler (19,450+ SKUs), House of Rohl brands (Rohl, Perrin & Rowe), Bain Ultra, Victoria & Albert, Kallista, Brizo, Robern, and Blanco, spanning price points from sub-$100 utility items to ultra-luxury SKUs above $50,000. The company serves two primary customer segments: individual homeowners undertaking bath, kitchen, or lighting renovations, and interior designers/trade professionals specifying products for client projects.

The business model is fundamentally a tactile retail operation — customers visit showrooms in person to see, touch, and use products before purchasing, supported by appointment-based consultations with trained showroom associates and an online appointment booking and product catalog system powered by the specbooks.com platform. Revenue is generated through one-time unit sales across bath (faucets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, vanities, showering), kitchen (faucets, sinks, bar/prep, workstations, filtration), and lighting (vanity, pendants, chandeliers, outdoor) categories, with promotional discounting of approximately 20-25% off list observed across brands. Distribution is exclusively through the owned showroom network — there is no online checkout/shipment model. The company operates as a subsidiary or brand under The Granite Group, a major New England kitchen/bath distributor, evidenced by all showroom email addresses routing through the @thegranitegroup.com domain. Recognition includes the Kohler Prestige Award (nationally acclaimed experts) and Showroom of the Year. The company does not disclose revenue, has no proprietary technology platform, and shows no AI/ML capability signals.
