11/14/2023 Munch’s Supply Donates $104,752 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
ST. LOUIS, MO (November 14, 2023) – Marcone, North America’s largest distributor of appliance repair, HVAC, plumbing, commercial kitchen and pool and spa parts, today announced the culmination of a successful philanthropic campaign that will benefit pediatric cancer research.
Marcone HVAC company Munch’s Supply raised $104,752 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, more than doubling its 2022 contribution of nearly $43,000. Both years, Munch’s Supply was the largest fundraising team in the Chicagoland area.
Munch’s employees and customers came together to support St. Jude through a series of raffles, a promotional shop, a 5K run/walk, a golf outing and leadership matches. Employees were engaged through drawings for paid time off, while customers connected with the cause on the golf course.
“The generosity and commitment of both our staff and client base was overwhelming,” said Steve Raimondi, Munch’s Market President for Illinois and Indiana. “It’s wonderful to see everyone working together for such a worthy cause – and having a great time doing it.”
The annual St. Jude fundraising effort is an integral part of operations for Munch’s Supply, which has been donating for 10 years to the hospital’s mission of curing pediatric diseases. The company’s contributions help St. Jude fulfill its goal of treating sick children but never sending their families a bill, so that parents can focus simply on their child’s wellbeing.
It currently costs more than $1.4 billion to run St. Jude each year, most of which comes from donors such as Munch’s Supply. Donations are used to research, treat and hopefully eliminate tragic diseases such as childhood cancer.
Founded in 1956, Munch’s Supply was acquired in 2021 by St. Louis-based Marcone, which boasts 2,000 employees at 200 locations.
“Like Munch, Marcone has a longstanding history of community service and philanthropy,” said Marcone Chief Executive Officer Avichal Jain. “We are pleased to share both a similar business vision and a desire to make the world around us a better place.”

08/2018 Tommark Announcement
After entering the Michigan market in 2015, we have been looking to expand our footprint from the three locations we acquired from Ingersoll Rand. Our territory in Michigan covers a large geography and we feel (and many of you have told us!) that to properly meet your needs, we must have a strategy that provides convenient locations throughout the state. Our most recent expansion to Livonia was the first step in increasing our facility size at a location more convenient for many of you.
I am happy to announce that on August 1st, we completed the acquisition of Tommark Inc. Tommark is a Michigan-based company with five locations. They have facilities in Coldwater, Jackson, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and Saginaw. Yes Saginaw! Finally, a branch to better serve those of you in the Tri-City area and northern market.
The company is currently led by two brothers, Jon and Scott Larson. There are many things that excite us about Tommark. In addition to their footprint, they have a great team that has built an organization focused on customer service and family values.
Both Scott and Jon will be joining the Munch team. Their primary focus in the near term will be working on the integration of our companies. Our goal is to have Tommark locations providing you with additional services along with an expanded equipment and supply inventory no later than January 1, 2019. In the meantime, there is a lot of work to be done to be ready by year end. I hope this summer weather is treating your business well, and I look forward to serving you as our footprint continues to grow.
As always, feel free to reach out to me, if you have any questions.
Thank you for your business!
