History
In 1944, the late Jack Tenzel founded Hermitage Distribution Company. The company started in a converted house that was originally located at 1402 Church Street. In 1946 the name was changed to Hermitage Electric Supply Corporation. In 1954, Tenzel's son-in-law, Gerald Fleischer, joined the company and subsequently became president in 1965. In 1958, Hermitage Electric Supply Corporation was out of space and moved to 1303 Demonbreun Street. This new building had 16,000 square feet and added a kitchen division to the mix of lighting, appliances and electrical supplies. In 1965 Hermitage Electric Supply Corporation had a 300% sales increase primarily due to its growth of its appliance distribution. In 1968 construction at 531 Lafayette Street, our current location, began. In 1983, Jack Fleischer, Son of Gerald Fleischer joined the company and is still the President. We are a third generation company and believe that outrageous customer service is what we must to do.
