In the Beginning...
In 1954 Nick Leep and
Margaret Yothment started Leep's Plumbing Supply Company. Leep's Supply
Company has been a leader in the plumbing industry. The company is now owned by
President: Allen G. Leep (Nick's son), Vice-President: David Leep (Nick's son),
and Treasurer: John Hamstra (Nicks son-in-law). In 1998, Leep's sold a
percentage of it's stock to the Leep's employees. "What does this mean to the
customer?" The success of Leep's is now dependent on the satisfaction of our
customers. Every Plumbing Distributor has product, service, terms, promotions,
etc., etc. It is only when an owner (employee) drives the delivery truck, ships
the order, answers the phone, sells the merchandise, works the plumbing counter
and receives the merchandise will you see a difference. With increased
competition and margin erosion, this is the best way to raise the bar. So to
answer, "What does this mean to the customer,?" it means you the customer will
soon see a better and more highly motivated company.
Leep's has four Branch Locations, one in Highland, Indiana, one in Hobart,
Indiana, one in Lansing, Illinois, and one in Merrillville, Indiana. Leep's has
always been in the business of providing quality merchandise and professional
service to all of our customers. All purchases have the same value of importance
to Leep's. We believe that our employees, experience, product, and you the
customer have made us what we are today.
