SUPPLY &<br />

FAUCET PARTS<br />

CENTER, INC.<br />

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 />
