Above: Everett Rury founded Everett’s<br />
Plumbing Supply & Faucet Parts Center<br />
in 1971.<br />
Below: Everett’s is a busy place. Plumbing<br />
companies and homeowners alike depend on<br />
Everett’s for their faucet parts and<br />
plumbing supplies.<br />
Knowledgeable employees, a vast inventory,<br />
and good customer service has kept<br />
people coming back to Everett’s Plumbing<br />
Supply & Faucet Parts Center over the years.<br />
The faucet parts and full-line plumbing<br />
supply company is the only business in the<br />
<strong>Amarillo</strong> area that specializes in faucet repair<br />
parts. Everett’s was founded by Everett Rury<br />
who established a much needed niche in<br />
the marketplace to make faucet parts<br />
available in the <strong>Amarillo</strong> area. In 1971 when<br />
he established the company, faucet repair<br />
parts were in short supply. Everett who was<br />
a master plumber, and had established<br />
Everett’s Plumbing in 1952 set out to amass<br />
an inventory of faucet parts.<br />
Over the years he worked to buy out the<br />
inventories of companies who were going out<br />
of business and acquired parts everywhere he<br />
could. The concept worked because the business<br />
thrived, the company became successful.<br />
Today Everett’s continues to buy out old<br />
inventories and carries most brands of parts<br />
including Delta, Moen, Price Pfister, Kohler,<br />
and American Standard. People in <strong>Amarillo</strong><br />
have come to know that Everett’s carries parts<br />
and supplies that cannot be found elsewhere.<br />
Other stores often send people to Everett’s to<br />
find parts to help with their repairs because<br />
“even if Everett’s doesn’t have it, they can usually<br />
get it.” Customers have said “if Everett’s<br />
doesn’t have it, you can’t get it anymore!”<br />
Throughout the years, Everett was in business<br />
with Cliff Lowrance who founded C&E<br />
Mechanical with him and he also founded<br />
ABE Mechanical with his brother-in-law Albert<br />
Robertson and his son-in-law Bob Weaver.<br />
His wife Lynn Rury was his biggest supporter<br />
and worked in the business at times. When<br />
Everett’s Faucet Parts became a successful<br />
venture, he quit plumbing and stayed active<br />
there until his retirement. Subsequently, Bob<br />
and Linda Weaver operated the firm until<br />
their retirement when their son Scott Weaver<br />
and his wife Nikki became the owners. Today,<br />
Scott and Nikki are proud to be Everett’s<br />
third-generation family owner/operators.<br />
They provide excellent customer service<br />
and have a reputation that brings repeat business.<br />
People keep coming back, because the<br />
knowledgeable Everett’s staff has the answers<br />
to their plumbing questions. Many employees<br />
throughout the firm’s history have plumbing<br />
backgrounds and hands-on experience.<br />
Customers are reassured when the people at<br />
the counter know what they are doing.<br />
Whether sponsoring various charities’<br />
fundraisers, supporting teams at the <strong>Amarillo</strong><br />
Chamber of Commerce Barbeque, or donating<br />
supplies for plumbers involved in<br />
Habitat for Humanity projects, the company<br />
is also dedicated to service outside of the<br />
business. They consider it a privilege to serve<br />
the people of <strong>Amarillo</strong>.<br />
