Let’s Unpack This – Who are we?
Terry and Carolyn Gentry had a dream in the Spring of 1969. They also had the backseat of the family Oldsmobile and their two-stall garage. But the first T.A. Gentry Supply, Inc. delivery vehicle and warehouse was enough to propel the family business.
Growth is nothing new to the Gentry's. Before the clock struck midnight in 1970, the couple gained their first delivery truck and started renting the former Wooden Shoe Factory in Holland, Michigan for warehousing.
By providing quality products at competitive pricing with exceptional service, T.A. Gentry can stand the test of time.
After years of success, expansion was inevitable. A 3,500 square foot showroom in Lansing opened in 1988, and one in Kalamazoo followed the next decade. In 2017, the Holland showroom was renovated and rebranded as the Gentry Supply Kitchen and Bath Gallery.
Today, T.A. Gentry Supply continues to grow – with quality products at competitive pricing with exceptional service.
