You can nab the same discounts the pros get on everything from kitchen cabinets to plumbing supplies at MFS Supply

MFS Supply in Solon is diversifying—and we’re all benefiting.
“We opened our doors as a wholesale center in 2007 for contractors working with foreclosure properties, affordable housing developments, college housing, and a wide mix of housing properties all over the country,” says CEO Brandon Guzman. “Recently we decided to take what we do really well in that business-to-business market and offer it in a retail setting so homeowners and DIYers can benefit from everything we offer here.”
Because they order overages for every job, MFS Supply always finds itself with leftover product.
“We’ve built these overages into our business model and we put extra product in our wholesale center at 30 to 40 percent off for contractors to take advantage of for smaller jobs,” says Brandon. “We weren’t looking to change our business but wanted to let the homeowner take advantage of these remarkable deals on everything from faucets and cabinetry to PPE and pool covers. It’s a natural extension of our core business and we’re excited to offer it to the public.”
And just because you’re getting such a great deal, don’t think you’re not getting great service along with it. MFS Supply is all about service. For example, the all-inclusive price for cabinetry means your cabinets are built, wrapped and arrive to you fully assembled. All you need to do is have them installed.
“For us, we want to remain a great distributor and not muddy the waters by offering installation,” says Brandon. “We don’t want to alienate our core customers, which are the contractors.”
The products available at MFS Supply change every week. If you don’t find the faucet, cabinets, flooring, lighting or hardware you’re looking for, just wait a few days. The 320,000-square-foot warehouse is constantly being restocked with products at prices you have to see to believe.
“And products are seasonal, too,” says Brandon. “We have more outdoor related products like pool covers and tarps in the summer months.”
MFS Supply carries many different brands based on partnerships formed with their customers. That’s what helps keep prices so low and the savings passed on to you.
“We also offer our own trademarked private label brand, onestock,” says Brandon. “It’s been a great line for us and has allowed us to do some creative things for our customers.”
One of those creative things is the RenoKit – essentially an apartment renovation in a box. It contains everything the property owner would need for a single apartment unit at one low price.
“Appliances, cabinets, plumbing, electrical, everything you need for one unit all in one box,” says Brandon. “This is great for budgeting for our contractors, not to mention saving them so much time running back and forth to the big box chains for supplies. It’s been very popular.”
Exciting deals await you at MFS Supply—along with helpful salespeople and free kitchen cabinet design service.
“We have five designers on staff and also offer free revisions,” says Brandon. “Come in and bring us your project. We’ll build a layout, and even offer several different options, all for free. You leave with your home project planned and all the supplies you need to create that new kitchen, bath, laundry room, or whatever you have in mind.”
Large or small, you owe it to yourself, and your budget, to check out MFS Supply for your next home project.
