Park Supply Company

Park Supply Company stands as a cornerstone of North Alabama’s building and home improvement industry, rooted in a legacy of integrity and customer-first values since its founding in July 1963. Established by James E. Park, Sr. in Huntsville, Alabama, the company began with a simple yet profound philosophy: treat others as you wish to be treated. This golden rule, inspired by Orison Swett Marden’s principles of ethical business, became the bedrock of Park Supply’s operations, driving its growth from a single location to a trusted regional leader with a presence in both Huntsville and Athens[1][2][4]. Today, the Athens store at 17616 US-72 exemplifies this enduring commitment, offering not only plumbing supplies but also hardware, electrical components, RV essentials, pet supplies, and lawn and garden tools, making it a one-stop destination for homeowners, contractors, and builders alike[4][5].

From its inception, Park Supply prioritized relationships over transactions, a mindset that allowed it to thrive through economic shifts, industry trends, and even the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic[2]. James E. Park, Sr.’s vision emphasized that success hinged on understanding customer needs and delivering exceptional service—a principle upheld by the current ownership team of Rusty Dinwiddie, Mark Stephens, and Jimbo Saunders. These long-term employees, mentored directly by the Park family, took the reins in 2007, ensuring continuity in the company’s culture while adapting to modern demands[2][5]. Their leadership has expanded Park Supply’s reach, culminating in the strategic 2021 expansion into Athens to serve Limestone County’s booming growth, driven by new businesses and residential developments[2][3].

The Athens location, opened in November 2021, reflects Park Supply’s evolution into a multifaceted supplier. Its 6,500-square-foot showroom features the latest in kitchen and bath design, alongside a vast inventory of plumbing fixtures, tools, and specialty items[4]. Unlike the Huntsville store, which focuses primarily on plumbing, the Athens branch caters to a broader clientele, including DIY enthusiasts and RV owners, with products ranging from electrical components to pet care essentials[4]. This diversification aligns with the region’s rapid expansion, allowing Park Supply to meet the needs of a community that values both innovation and small-town charm[2][4].

At the heart of Park Supply’s operations is an unwavering dedication to service. The company’s experienced staff—many with decades of industry knowledge—provides personalized guidance, whether assisting homeowners with remodeling projects or helping contractors source materials for large-scale builds[4][5]. Competitive pricing, coupled with one of North Alabama’s largest in-stock inventories, ensures customers avoid delays, while daily deliveries to the Athens area underscore the company’s commitment to convenience[2][4]. The showroom’s hands-on displays allow clients to explore cutting-edge products firsthand, from water-saving faucets to smart home-compatible fixtures, ensuring solutions that blend functionality with modern aesthetics[4].

Beyond products, Park Supply’s success stems from its ability to foster trust. By prioritizing transparency and reliability, the company has built lasting partnerships with builders, remodelers, and homeowners, many of whom return for repeat projects[4][5]. This reputation is further bolstered by its BBB accreditation, reflecting decades of ethical practices since its 1965 filing[5]. As Limestone County continues to grow, Park Supply’s Athens store remains poised to serve as both a resource and a community partner, embodying the same values that guided James E. Park, Sr. over six decades ago. Whether tackling a minor repair or a full-scale renovation, customers can rely on Park Supply’s expertise, inventory, and dedication to making every project a success[2][4][5].
