Coast Distribution With Opening of New California Facility.
 Jones
Stephens, a Hardware Holdings, LLC company, announced today that it
has expanded its distribution capabilities to the West Coast and has
begun fulfilling orders from its new Valencia, California
distribution center effective with May 2015 orders. A formal
dedication ceremony took place on June 10, 2015.
This new investment is part of the Jones Stephens’
We Got It… West Coast
initiative designed to bring the best selection of products with the
highest level of customer care directly and efficiently to Western
US-based customers.
The Valencia distribution center supports 5,000 most-frequently

Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska. In most cases, orders placed by 2:00 PM
PST will be delivered by the following morning, plus a Will-Call

“The addition of our
Valencia distribution center allows us to better meet the
needs of all our customers—especially our regional partners
west of the Rockies—in a timely and cost effective manner,”
explains Michele Hudec, VP & GM, Commercial & Industrial
Division. “It’s all part of our value proposition—to
minimize our customers’ stock-outs and maximize their
inventory efficiency. We want our regional partners to look
to Jones Stephens as a national specialty plumbing and MRO
products company offering the convenience and service level
of a local supplier.”
The new distribution center is located at 28624 Witherspoon
Parkway, Valencia, California 91355. Its addition
strengthens the Jones Stephens’ national distribution system
with over 400,000 square feet of warehouse space in three
strategically placed locations–Moody, Alabama; Pottsville,
