The store is run and co-owned by Michael Crane, a 30-year veteran of the industry. General manager and owner John Hicks also has more than 30 years of industry experience and partner Michael Snyder has worked in the industry for two decades.

 “Mike Crane leads perhaps one of the most experienced teams we’ve ever had in launching a new company,” said Roland Gordon, president and chief executive officer at Winsupply Inc. “Mike and John Hicks established their industry expertise as factory reps prior to joining Winsupply. Mike Snyder produced an air filter for the HVAC industry in his prior work life. The three decided to invest in a new Winsupply location in North Kansas City that is underserved by a sheet metal distributor. They will be able to provide a one-stop solution for contractors needing both sheet metal ductwork supplies as well as air conditioning and heating equipment.”
