Empire's Norfolk Delivery Fleet
With the rising cost of gas & diesel fuel, in addition to higher vehicle insurance premiums, many companies have done away with their delivery service - Not Us! Empire still has a delivery fleet of 13 vehicles to make sure you get what you need where and when you need it! |

Will-Call Counter
Empire's commitment to customer service has led to the development of a special Will-Call counter. It is designed to better serve Empire customers who are in a hurry and know what they want. Customers simply phone in their orders and we pull the products for them. When they arrive at the Will-Call counter, their orders are ready for pick-up. The customers do not have to track down the items themselves or wait in line behind other shoppers in our showroom, or the big box stores.
The Will-Call counter has been a big hit with many local contractors who need tools on the job quickly to eliminate downtime and cost overruns.

Parker Hannifin Hydraulics Store
Empire has a Parker Hannifin hydraulic shop inside both their Norfolk and Hampton locations. The first Parker store opened five years ago at Empire's Peninsula Division, in the Hampton Industrial Park. Due to the tremendous success of the first Parker store, Empire's management opened a Parker store at the main office and warehouse facility in Norfolk. The hydraulics specialists at this location include Al Martin, Manny Aguirre, and Jason Isley. Both stores allow our customers to browse the largest selection of hydraulic and pneumatic filters, fittings, hoses and related equipment in the Tidewater and greater Hampton Roads markets. Customers can watch through a special glass wall as their custom hose or tubing assembly is put together, then take their order with them to get their downed equipment up and running fast. |
