Founded in 1960 by Charles F. "Fletch"
Bryan, Jr.. State Janitorial Supply Co. began in a rented, 1000-foot
structure on Division Street in downtown Dover, Delaware. By 1964,
the Burgeoning operation had already outgrown the facility causing
Bryan to consider a new location for the business.
Taking a chance by purchasing land on
the north end of town, on what was then a very rural Route 13. Bryan
erected a building four times the size of the original and rented
space to house the rapidly escalating enterprise. As business grew
so did the structure accommodating the company. The building was
added onto in stages ending up as a 10,000-square-foot facility,
encompassing the offices, warehouse and showroom of State Janitorial
Supply Co..
The untimely death of its founder in
1977 placed David H. Bryan, Fletch Bryan's son, at the company's
helm. David joined the firm in 1973 learning the business inside
and out, from stocking warehouse shelves, selling products, driving
delivery vans and handling office duties to overseeing construction
on the building additions. It was soon apparent that although there
was a need for more expansion, there was simply no more room at
the Route 13 site.
Following his father's lead of 1964,
David Bryan took a chance and built a completely new, state-of-the
art warehouse, showroom and office complex at 24 Maggies Way in
Dover, DE. State Janitorial Supply Co. opened their doors for business
in October of 1998 at their new, 16,000-square-foot facility; a
structure sixteen times larger than the initial rented space of
38 years ago! However, with the November 1998 acquisition of the
assets of Holt Distributors, Inc., David once again found himself
contemplating expansion.
With the completion of a warehouse addition
in June of 2001, State Janitorial Supply Co. is proud of their 18,500-square-foot
