Ferguson Opens New Location

NEWPORT NEWS, VA—Ferguson opened a new location in Columbus, Ohio, in December of 2006, allowing customers to choose from a large selection of residential, commercial, mechanical and industrial products.   Located at 438 McCormick Boulevard, the Ferguson facility features not only a traditional Ferguson plumbing sales counter but also a 125,000 square-foot warehouse.
Ferguson’s locations are designed with plumbers, contractors, and builders in mind and offer a level of convenience and customer service that is unparalleled within the industry.  The large warehouse facility, with increased inventory accuracy, allows Ferguson to provide customers with the materials they desire exactly when they are needed. 

The Columbus location will also house a large training facility where Ferguson associates will receive the most updated product knowledge training available in the industry.  By providing associates with tools to better serve their customers, Ferguson is able to assist their customers in passing the standard of excellence along to their own clients.

Chris Bodenstine, manager for the new Columbus location said “I am excited to introduce this top-of-the-line facility, backed by our state-of-the-art warehouse management system, to the Columbus area and to enhance our relationships with contractors in this market.”

The Columbus location is open from Monday through Friday from 7 am until 5 pm and on Saturday from 8 am until 1 pm.  Associates are ready and willing to assist you and can be reached at 614-367-3000.
