History

Established in 1930.

Smardan Supply opened on March 1st 1930 in the midst of the Great Depression by brothers Bill and Sam Smardan. Smardan’s first location was in a defunct automobile garage in Los Angeles. The brother’s first employee was a driver named Bill Weelo who took part of his wages by sleeping at Bill Smardan’s house.

In 1949 Sam Benton, Billy’s son in law, came into the business and in 1960 became a share holder by buying the Santa Barbara branch. 10 years later he would own the entire company. Since that time Smardan — Hatcher Corp. has grown to 6 branches under Sam’s control.

Randy Benton, Sam’s son and Rick Leoff, Sam’s son-​in-​law came into the business in the mid to late seventies. They now server as CEO and President respectively. In the late 90’s Rick’s son’s Brandon and Justin entered the business after college and now play integral parts in the success of the company. In 2008 Randy’s son AJ came into the business after college and will have a lot to add to the company.
