On April 1, 1950, George T. Sanders and his wife Pauline launched a small business to provide sheet metal and other materials to heating contractors in Denver, Colorado. The business began at 1111 Stout Street in downtown Denver. The company outgrew its first location by 1952 and moved to 7821 West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood.

In 1962, the company transitioned to new quarters at 1365 Harlan Street. Prior to this, the emphasis was mainly on heating and sheet metal. Deciding to enter the plumbing sector became one of the most crucial choices for the company. Currently, the George T. Sanders Company is acknowledged as one of the leading plumbing supply houses in the state of Colorado.

In 1965, the company purchased land directly across from its location at 1370 Harlan Street. In 1966, a metal warehouse with a modest office area was constructed on this property. The company consistently added new product lines and increased its staff. As a Manager, Reed plays a key role at the George T. Sanders Company.
