Business is growing at Plumbers Supply Company (PSC), a nearly 90-year-old plumbing supply company that has 12 locations throughout Missouri and Illinois. The company has been at its current headquarters for 56 years, and President John Dubuque decided it was necessary to move in order to accommodate their customer’s growing needs.
PSC will move from its current 30,000-square-foot headquarters at 6135 Horton Place in University City to its new location at 4500 Swan Ave. in the St. Louis city area. The company bought the 51,000-square-foot building for $975,000. Hilliker Corporation agent Jake Shepley represented PSC as the buyer of this 50-year-old property, which previously served as a hospital records storage area.

“Our new headquarters will offer more convenience to our customers,” said Dubuque. “We are directly behind the burgeoning Grove district, which will have its own Highway 40/64 exit this Fall.” Dubuque added that the new highway accessibility will enable faster deliveries, as well as provide a central city location for will-call customers.
