Best Plumbing opens Elmsford supply center

Best Plumbing Supply, a 56-year-old family-owned business headquartered in Somers, will open its second supply stop center in Westchester County on May 9 .

The self-serve business for the plumbing trade will operate at 8 Westchester Plaza in Cross Westchester Executive Park in Elmsford, the company announced.

Bob Gordineer, Best Plumbing sales manager, said the Elmsford location will be modeled after the company”™s  supply stop in Yorktown and will be stocked with 3,800 product types.

“We like to think of it as a hardware store for plumbers,”  he said in the announcement.

Most items that are not available for immediate pickup in Elmsford usually can be picked up the same day in the main Somers supply warehouse or scheduled for delivery the next day, he said.

Best Plumbing Supply opened its first location in Mohegan Lake in 1960 and moved to Yorktown in 1987. It opened its 137,000-square-foot corporate office, warehouse and showroom in Somers in 2007. The company also operates Best Plumbing Tile & Stone showrooms in Scarsdale and Stamford.
