Brickworks Supply Center opens in Chicago
Brickworks North America (Brickworks N.A.), parent company of Glen-Gery, is opening its new masonry supply center in Chicago, Illinois. The Brickworks Supply Center - Chicago, located at 810 Pershing Road in Chicago, is a space providing builders, contractors masons and landscape contractors all the materials and tools needed to complete their projects.
According to the company, the new, larger trade area provides a one-stop shop experience while the modern design center fosters collaboration and education among architecture and design professionals through educational events. This newly completed center replaces an existing supply center on the same site.

The new Supply Center's 21,500-square-foot space joins the existing Brickworks Supply Centers in Illinois, including locations in Bridgeview, Champaign, Des Plaines, Naperville, New Lenox, Schaumburg and Springfield.
The new Chicago location includes:
- A consultation area where staffers can offer professional advice on installation and design, review plans and guide customers through the product selection process for projects of any size.
