The 190,000-square-foot warehouse will allow the
Melville-based plumbing supply company to better serve West
Coast customers, an executive said.
A Melville plumbing supply e-commerce company that sprang
from a century-old family business is opening a facility in
Reno, Nevada, that will expand the footprint of its next-day
delivery service, the company said Tuesday.
SupplyHouse.com announced in a news release that it
plans to hire about 30 people to staff its new
190,000-square-foot call and distribution center in Reno,
which supplements distribution centers in Cranbury, New
Jersey, and Columbus, Ohio.
A company spokeswoman said the leased Reno facility had a
"soft opening" in May and is ramping up hiring. |

The company said
that the new facility would allow customers in select locations
in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington to receive next day delivery on in-stock items.
"We’re extremely excited for the significant service
improvements our new Reno, Nevada, location will provide to our
customers, especially those on the West Coast," Fernando Cunha,
chief operating officer, said in a statement. "Our time in
transit to the West Coast has historically been 3-5 business
days. We will now be able to serve the majority of our West
Coast customers in one day."
The e-commerce company, founded in 2004, employs 231 people
overall, including 108 in Melville. The company evolved from a
plumbing business started in 1917 by the great grandfather of
current company president Josh Meyerowitz, the spokeswoman said.
In May 2016, the company transferred its distribution operations
from a 70,000-square-foot facility in Farmingdale to Cranbury,
and in August of that year moved its headquarters from
Farmingdale to Melville.
Cunha said SupplyHouse.com also will extend the hours of its
call center operation, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. to 9
p.m., all New York time, "which will better serve our entire
customer base.
