CHEERS TO 75 YEARS - THE 2020’s
Wholesale Electric Supply’s Corporate Offices moved to their new digs in early 2023 at 1500 City West Blvd, becoming our 13th U.S. location. We mourned the loss of Rick McKellop Sr. who was Wholesale’s longest tenured employee at the time. 2024 began a major milestone year with transition from our previous custom built software to a new ERP platform!

CHEERS TO 75 YEARS- THE 2010’s
The 2010’s was our busiest decade yet with the opening of 7 more US branches and 5 additional international locations. We mourned the loss of our founders, Clyde & Marjorie Rutland, and carried on the family owned business with transition to the McKellop’s. The McKellop Charitable Foundation was formed in 2017 and Wholesale celebrated 70 years in business in 2019.

CHEERS TO 75 YEARS - THE 2000’s

CHEERS TO 75 YEARS - THE 1990’s
Wholesale Electric Supply continues to grow and expand by opening 3 more branches with CMMS and Beaumont TX in 1993, then spreading our wings outside of Texas with our first Louisiana branch in Sulphur LA in 1995. Wholesale officially became WBENC Certified in 1999, the same year we celebrated 50 years in business!

WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH
In honor of Women’s History Month, Wholesale Electric Supply would like to celebrate the contributions of Majorie Rutland and Pam McKellop to our ongoing success. Wholesale first became a women-owned business in 1999 with Majorie at the helm and was then passed on to Pam McKellop in 2012. A special thank you to these two wonderful ladies!

CHEERS TO 75 YEARS - THE 1980’s
Wholesale Electric began to expand in the 1980’s with the opening of their first two branches: Clute, TX (1981) and Deer Park, TX (1987). Wholesale was the first Electrical Distributor to receive the ISO 9001 Certification in 1986. A certification which we maintain still today.

Wholesale Electric is proud to be an annual sponsor of the Over The Hill Gang at the HLSR BBQ Cook Off. We enjoyed hosting many customers, vendors and friends. A great time was had by all! LET'S RODEO!

CHEERS TO 75 YEARS - THE 1970’s
In 1974, Wholesale Electric moved to its current Houston location at 4040 Gulf Freeway.

In 1979, Wholesale began the Construction Material Management System (CMMS), which now operates as its own branch.
