The Stone Source was founded in 1982 when Bob Foreman, Barney Burnette,
and Bobby Demoney combined their experience to meet
the demands of providing Granite and Marble to the
homebuilding and design communities. They started
with just a simple saw, some hand tools, and their
individual experiences of selling marble, distributing
ceramic tile, and installation of marble tile. For
9 years, they provided their services with the hopes
of expanding their business. At a National Stone
Show during the summer of 1994, they were advised
by one of the most productive Granite fabrication
shops in the Southeast that if they were really
serious about Granite fabrication, they needed to
increase the size of their facility, use the latest
technology, and import the more popular Granites
directly from overseas. A few months later, they
took that advice and moved into a 10,000 square-foot
building, purchased a new production saw, and added
two new-edge profiling machines.
Today, The Stone Source has the most
technologically advanced Granite fabrication shop
in Mississippi with the capacity of producing about
two kitchens a day. |
