Since its inception 60 years ago, Penco has remained a family owned business. Their story is synonymous with excellence, dedication, and commitment to providing unmatched, personalized service. Penco's mission is, "To be the best in the business," which summarizes the professional culture and integrity of their employees and it is this kind of attitude that has been passed on to Elegant Designs.
The idea of the showroom began with the vision of Jeff Peterson and Scott Sapna, third generation partners in the business, to offer customers superior products with unmatched customer service. They consulted with one of the country's industry leaders in the showroom business to create displays of kitchen and bath fixtures, faucets, and accessories in an atmosphere that allows the consumer to explore and personalize their space to fit their individual needs. As a result, the showroom has achieved Kohler's "Premier" status - the only one on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Since Elegant Designs opened its Showroom of Distinction in October, 2007, they continue to expand and update their offerings, focusing on developing the best practices to serve their customers. In October 2008, just 1 year after opening, Elegant Designs has already achieved national recognition by Supply House Times as one of the country's leading decorative plumbing and hardware showrooms.
