History[edit]
Pool Corporation was founded in 1980 as South Central Pool Supply by Frank J. St. Romain.[2]
In 1993, the company was purchased by Code Hennessey's & Simmons, and then went through a rapid expansion phase. The company later went public in 1995, renaming itself to the SCP Pool Corporation.[2]
The company renamed to Pool Corporation on May 16, 2006.[3]
Controversies[edit]
The company was accused by the Federal Trade Commission in 2011 of antitrust practices by pressuring it's suppliers to not conduct business with its competitors. The company settled with a consent order which prohibited the company from continuing the practice.[4]
