Drew is slated to be the 4th generation from the Young family to run the business.From humble beginnings, as one of the only tile installation companies in the city, Young Brothers has become a mecca for design inspiration. In the early 70's YB only employed 3 full-time tile setters, 3 helpers and 3 office administrators. Most of the work done in the company's early years was commercial installations. In 1972, YB acquired Southwest Tile & Marble expanded to the retail side of the industry. Now, SWT has over 30 full-time employees on staff, including sales, marketing and accounting departments.In 1973 natural stone fabrication began in the marble shop. The 90's brought in even more change. The marble shop was doubled in size, taking it from 7000sf to 14, 400sf. This expansion allows us to keep all of our slabs indoors for clients to view no matter the unpredictable Oklahoma weather. The original showroom was leveled to make way for the 3500sf design center that we all know and love today. The new showroom is home to 100's of designer tile lines, offering endless design possibilities.The addition of an overhead crane system, as well as, a CNC stone fabrication machine help to ensure that SWT will remain a long standing competitor in this ever-growing market.
