Standard Plumbing Supply

Standard Plumbing Supply will celebrate 62 years of service this year. It was back in 1952 that Dale Reese originated an innovative concept in the wholesale plumbing business and went on to start a company that now serves eight western states. Dale was born in 1924 just outside Logan, Utah. He graduated from Utah State University, furthered his education at Butler University in Indiana and finished his education with a Master degree from New York University, School of Retailing. Dale then went to work for Macy's and Gimbel's in New York City. After awhile, Dale gave up his career in big-city retailing and returned to Utah. He went to work in Logan for a heating and plumbing contractor and there discovered that he could supply plumbers with materials. Soon after, Standard Plumbing Supply opened its doors on Wall Avenue in Ogden. To get a good price on supplies, Dale had to order from the West Coast and that led him go organize a trucking company.
