Pool Corp (NASDAQ: POOL) is a wholesale distribution company that supplies swimming pool equipment, chemicals, and related outdoor living products to pool service professionals, builders, and retailers. It makes money by buying products from manufacturers and reselling them through a network of sales centers, earning margin on that spread across a broad SKU catalog. The business is tied to the installed base of residential swimming pools in the United States, with demand driven by maintenance and repair activity on existing pools, new pool construction, and homeowner spending on outdoor living spaces including irrigation systems, landscaping, and outdoor kitchens. Pool Corp benefits from scale in purchasing and distribution density, particularly in warmer climate markets in the southern United States where the pool season is longer and the installed base is concentrated. The company is headquartered in Covington, Louisiana.
