The Clear Choice Since 1936...

Our Story

Pensacola Glass Co was founded in 1936. It had meager beginnings in a shop located at 46 East Chase Street in downtown Pensacola, FL. Two brothers, who had previously founded Dothan Glass Co. in Dothan, Alabama, partnered with their brother Harold Pitman to open Pensacola Glass Co. in 1936. This followed the tradition of family involvement in business endeavors. The economic growth in the Pensacola area brought great success to this business venture.

In 1955, a nephew, Charles Merritt, was made the manager. In 1962, Pensacola Glass Co. was merged into the Dothan Glass Co. which had been incorporated in 1956. This merger included stores in Mobile, AL. and Panama City, FL. which were operated by other family members.

Traffic problems relating to the opening of the interstate highway connection and the need for additional warehouse space brought about the decision to relocate to new facilities at the present location at 3901 N. Palafox Street. Woody Watters, who had joined the company as the manager of the commercial contract glazing department in 1985, was made the Branch Manager in June of 1994, and continues to this day.

The years that have followed have brought tremendous growth. While the commercial glazing section has made Pensacola Glass Co. a leader in providing services to many major construction projects throughout the region; we also provide residential glass service, auto glass replacement and repair and retail glass products. Our goal is to provide quality products in all divisions while providing the best in professional workmanship along with efficient and courteous service to all our customers.
