L&M Office Supply and Furniture was founded in 1981 with the idea of starting a locally owned company with "the customer is always right" approach to customer service, and guaranteed next day delivery to provide an enjoyable and reliable method for purchasing furniture and office products to Bay area businesses. Through a relentless pursuit of both expansion and outstanding customer service,  L&M Office Supply and Furniture grew steadily through the 1980's.

     In the mid 1980's, the L&M Office Supply and Furniture main office and distribution center was moved to Oldsmar, Florida, a small city centrally located between Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco Counties. The move allowed the company to expand service to the Brandon, Sarasota, and other outlying areas, while providing faster delivery times and greater service to the Tri-County area.

     With a growing sales force, an expanding service area, and an experienced staff dedicated to the idea of providing quality service to customers in the Tampa Bay area, L&M Office Supply and Furniture continued to grow throughout the late1980's and early 1990's.

     With the coming of age of computer communications, the management at L&M Office Supply and Furniture focused on being at the forefront in new technology. Company wide computers were introduced in the 1980's and fax machines were introduced shortly thereafter. A nationwide delivery service was added in the mid 1990's allowing businesses throughout the United States to receive the outstanding customer service and prompt next day delivery that has made L&M Office Supply and Furniture a leader in service and satisfaction for over two decades

     Presenting customers with one more option in ordering convenience, a remote online ordering system was first introduced in 1998 as a dial up service allowing customers to directly access our computer system.  This system was then updated to our current online ordering system accessed through our Internet website, LMOFFICESUPPLY.COM,   Now anyone, anywhere in the world can experience our unique dedication to customer service, product quality, and next day delivery.

     In 1999, L&M Office Supply and Furniture was awarded the Oldsmar Chamber of Commerce, and the Pinellas County Chamber of Commerce, Large Business of the Year Award for outstanding dedication to customer service. In 2001, L&M Office Supply and Furniture was honored to receive the prestigious Tampa Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award presented by film star James Earl Jones.

     In 2003, L&M Office Supply and Furniture became a Certified Minority Business Enterprise as a Women Owned Business.
