First Supply Moves to Better Serve Customers in the Twin Cities

RELOCATES CHAMPLIN BRANCH TO ST. LOUIS PARK, LESS THAN 20 MILES AWAY

8/12/2025


Madison, WI – First Supply has announced plans to relocate its Champlin, Minnesota branch to a more convenient site in St. Louis Park. Just off Highway 7 and less than 20 miles from the previous branch, the new space will officially open on September 2, 2025, at:

7003 W. Lake St., Suite 100, St. Louis Park, MN 55426

In addition to the new First Supply branch, the site will soon include a Gerhard’s Kitchen, Bath & Lighting Store, providing a comprehensive destination for trade professionals and homeowners to explore cabinetry, lighting, and kitchen and bath solutions.

“Relocating to St. Louis Park isn’t just about improving access; it’s about building for the future,” shared Katie Poehling Seymour, President and CEO of First Supply. “We’ve proudly served the Twin Cities market since 1993, and this relocation represents our continued investment in the region. Our vision is to distribute innovation and partnership in the communities we serve, and this move strengthens that commitment by helping us better serve our customers.”

“At First Supply, the customer is everything. This move reflects our commitment to listening and responding to their needs,” said Scott Boehlke, Chief Operating Officer. “We’ve heard for years that customers in this market want a full-service distributor with a showroom where they can see the full range of products we offer. By relocating to St. Louis Park, we’re delivering that experience along with improved access, daily delivery, fast counter pick-up, and quick replenishment from our nearby Distribution Center. It’s about building real partnerships and showing up where it matters most.”

The new location supports expanded product offerings including plumbing, HVAC, well and septic, PVF, and industrial supplies. It also positions First Supply closer to the heart of the Twin Cities construction activity, making it easier for professionals to get the products and support they need when they need them.
