Building Better: Brickworks Supply Center Debuts New Chicago Location

Newest Supply Center serves as a one-stop destination featuring high-quality products, expert guidance, and collaborative spaces

CHICAGO, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Brickworks North America (Brickworks N.A.), parent company of Glen-Gery, announces the opening of its new masonry supply center in Chicago, Illinois. The Brickworks Supply Center - Chicago, located at 810 Pershing Road in Chicago, is a space providing builders, contractors, masons and landscape contractors all the materials and tools needed to complete their projects. The new, larger trade area provides a convenient one-stop shop experience while the modern design center fosters collaboration and education amongst architecture and design professionals through engaging yet educational events. This newly completed center replaces an existing supply center on the same site.

"At Brickworks North America, we understand that builders and contractors need more than just materials but rather a central hub focused on convenience, expertise, innovation and quality products," said Steve Bell, president of Brickworks North America. "The new Brickworks Supply Center is designed to meet these very needs by providing an abundance of premium products, tools and even professional guidance in one centralized location to better empower and equip construction professionals to complete their projects not only more efficiently but with confidence and ease."

In 2021, Brickworks N.A. acquired several key businesses from Illinois-based Southfield Corporation, the largest independently-owned and operated family of brick and masonry supply companies in the country, to make their products and services more accessible to builders, contractors, architects, designers and homeowners alike. This further expanded the Brickworks N.A. footprint, and included Illinois Brick, Indiana Brick, Rose Brick, Edgewood Landscape Supply, and Lafayette Masonry Supply locations.

The new Supply Center's 21,500-square-foot space joins the existing Brickworks Supply Centers in Illinois, including locations in Bridgeview, Champaign, Des Plaines, Naperville, New Lenox, Schaumburg and Springfield, making it more convenient and accessible for professionals and homeowners.

The new Chicago location includes:

• A consultation area where a team of experienced staff can offer professional advice on installation and design, review plans and guide customers through the product selection process for projects of any size
• A stunning 3,000-square-foot showroom displaying an impressive portfolio of brick, stone and hardscape products from a diverse array of premium manufacturers
• A 10,800-square-foot warehouse hosting a large inventory of masonry materials, including brick, natural and manufactured stone, clay and concrete pavers, wall products, lighting, firepits, artificial turf, bulk materials and more, helping to ensure product is not only in stock and available to customers but offering a convenient one-stop-shop experience
• A 5,800-square-foot trade center where builders, contractors, landscapers and homeowners can purchase necessary tools and supplies, from brick, stone, mortar and hardscapes to masonry accessories
• A modern event space for industry events hosted by Glen-Gery
