In the heart of Summit’s vibrant downtown, the Kohler® Signature Store by General Plumbing Supply (GPS) has quickly become a destination for homeowners, designers, and builders seeking the best in kitchen and bath design.
Now celebrating its first anniversary this year, the 5,000-square-foot showroom has drawn praise for its stunning displays, extensive product range, and welcoming community spirit.
“Our store has been very successful in our first year,” says store manager Judy Rogoff. “The local community has been warm and inviting, and we’ve been thrilled to become part of these design-focused neighborhoods.”
A Haven for Designers and Homeowners
GPS president Justin Freedman notes that the choice of Summit was intentional. “Kohler is one of our strongest relationships and vendors and we felt the Summit downtown district has really created this kind of haven for designers, design retailers and home furnishings stores,” says GPS president, Justin Freedman. “We’re excited to be part of that community.”
The store is a one-stop resource, not only showcasing Kohler but also its entire family of brands, including Kallista®, Robern®, Ann Sacks®, and the popular Shea McGee collection, Studio McGee. From fixtures and vanities to lighting, countertops, and tile, customers can explore every finish, style, and design trend in one place.
“Shea McGee really knocked it out of the park with her faucet and hardware designs,” Freedman adds. “Her collection has tremendous appeal, and people are excited to see it here.”
Innovation Meets Everyday Living
The Summit showroom makes it easy to stay current with the latest innovations. “We have new plumbing fixtures and lighting on display all the time,” Rogoff explains. Among the standouts is Kohler’s Statement™ & Anthem™ showering system, which lets users personalize temperature and water pressure through both traditional and digital controls.
Smart toilets are another favorite, offering homeowners the option to integrate as much or as little technology as they’d like. “When it comes to a primary bathroom, it’s become a type of retreat for people,” Freedman observes. “It’s a place where they can go and relax.”
Another exciting feature is the ability to coordinate finishes across product lines, allowing homeowners to match light fixtures with plumbing fixtures for a cohesive look throughout their spaces.
Trusted Expertise and Reliable Service
Behind the beautiful showroom lies the strength of General Plumbing Supply’s century-old reputation. Founded in 1910, GPS is a fourth-generation, family-owned business with 24 locations across the region. The company is one of Kohler’s top distributors nationwide, maintaining over $25 million in Kohler inventory at any given time.
“The majority of our products can be shipped within the week, if not the next day,” Freedman explains. “That’s one of the great benefits of working with us. We have a fleet of more than 100 trucks on the road every day.”
GPS’s knowledgeable staff—many with years of industry experience—guide homeowners and design professionals alike through product options and installation considerations, ensuring every project runs smoothly.
Connecting with the Community
The Summit location also hosts quarterly events, drawing local designers, homeowners, and realtors eager to keep up with the latest trends. These gatherings highlight the store’s role not just as a showroom, but as a hub for creativity and connection in the downtown community.
