About - Granite Countertop Warehouse

100% Employee Owned. 100% Committed to Excellence.

At Granite Countertop Warehouse (GCW), we don’t just build beautiful spaces — we build lasting trust. As of 2025, GCW is proud to be 100% employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). That means every installer, designer, and service professional you meet isn’t just working here — they’re an owner. And that makes a difference.

Founded over 23 years ago in Acworth, Georgia, GCW started with a simple goal: deliver high-quality countertops with craftsmanship and care. From a two-person operation installing one kitchen a week, we’ve grown into a regional industry leader with over 100 employees, five affiliated companies, and locations across four cities, including showrooms and slab yards in Chattanooga and Nashville, Tennessee.

Why It Matters

Our transition to employee ownership is more than a financial change — it’s a cultural commitment. Every GCW team member now has a personal stake in our reputation and your satisfaction. That means when someone from GCW comes into your home, you’re working with someone who takes pride in every detail because it’s their business too.

What We Do

Granite Countertop Warehouse is a premier fabricator and installer of natural and engineered stone surfaces, offering:

A curated selection of 5,000+ slabs in 250+ colors

Direct-import pricing on granite, quartz, and other natural stones

Innovative, industry-leading processes for faster, higher-quality installations

In-house expertise for residential and commercial projects of any size

By sourcing materials directly from quarries around the world, we cut out the middleman — passing the savings directly to our customers.

A Legacy of Leadership

Throughout our history, we’ve brought new technologies, streamlined processes, and unmatched value to the market. Our growth has always been driven by one thing: people. From early employees like Jairo Martinez—who rose from part-time polisher to co-owner—to the skilled professionals who now drive every job forward, GCW’s story is one of hard work, integrity, and shared success.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow, we’re committed to expanding opportunities for our employee-owners and delivering even more value to our customers. Whether you’re renovating a kitchen, outfitting a commercial space, or designing your dream home, GCW brings decades of experience and a shared passion for quality to every project.

We’re not just building countertops — we’re building ownership, one project at a time.
