Explore kitchen and bath provides Arley wholesale tile
Explore Kitchens is only interested in working with a small group of dedicated wholesalers that will be our exclusive suppliers. One of the primary concerns in choosing our wholesalers was their knowledge of our region, which is why Arley kept coming up as a leader in the industry and the top choice of potential tile and flooring suppliers.
The Arley story starts in 1935 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, when Irving Levy opened a paint store.
Soon linoleum flooring was a growing trend, and Irving saw the potential of adding a line of linoleum flooring to his offerings, so he took on a partner, Franklin Arndt, and “Ar-Ley” wholesale was born.
Soon, the flooring business was far overshadowing their paint business, so Irving and Franklin dropped the paint and began to focus on flooring. With the second generation of partners, the company grew and expanded to cover most of New York and Pennsylvania. During the 1960s, the home decorator industry emerged and became one of their primary income sources, so Arley shifted focus again and became a strictly wholesale supplier.
Since 1999, Arley has focused solely on hard surface tiles and flooring options, rising to be the number one East Coast wholesaler of Tile, Stone, Glass, and Metal flooring options. Their success is attributed to strong family ties, willingness to promote critical leaders from within, and adhering to these three principles:
- Be honorable in everything you do
- Live up to your commitments. Your word is your bond
- Be loyal to your suppliers and customers. They are the backbone of your business
I was almost sold before I even saw the product line. With those principles, a long history in our region, and dedication to their business partners, I knew that I could count on Arley to have my customer’s backs. I was ready to sign them up even before I took a look at their products but was equally impressed by their staggering array of tile and flooring options, with more than 10,000 products for sale across all of their brands. If you’ve ever sorted through tile samples, you would understand that this is an incredible number of choices. The average home improvement center will have fewer than 500 pieces on hand, to give you an idea of how vast this is.
