About

J&B Supply, Inc. was founded in February of 1968 in Fort Smith, Arkansas by J. L. Jones and Jim Barns, both originally from the Muskogee, Oklahoma area. The original location of J&B Supply was a single building on Midland Blvd. in Fort Smith. From that small beginning, J&B Supply grew steadily, and in a few short years became a full-line plumbing, and heating and air conditioning distributor, serving the entire western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma area.

In 1978, Mr. Jones started a wholesale electrical store, J&B Electric, in Fort Smith. Also, by that time, Mr. Jones had purchased Mr. Barnes’ interest in the corporation, and Steve Jones joined his father in the business. In 1980, the company purchased Master Supply in Springdale, Arkansas, and Steve Jones moved there to manage that operation.

Following his father’s death, in October of 1991, Steve Jones assumed operational leadership of J&B Supply. Under his leadership, J&B Supply opened its new combined supply house, showroom, and administrative offices at 4915 South Zero in Fort Smith, Arkansas in January of 1996.

In 2017 J&B branded its plumbing and lighting showroom, GreatHouse Fixtures. This state of the art showroom is an 8,000 sq. ft. spectacle containing all the latest trends in plumbing and lighting.

Today J&B Supply, Inc. operates from six supply house locations in Fort Smith, Springdale, Bentonville, Mena, Sherwood, and Broken Bow OK. with approximately 50 dedicated employees, serving thousands of customers in the wholesale plumbing, electrical, and heating and air conditioning business in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
