THE BEARING JUNCTION

The Bearing Junction is a place we started because we saw a need for a spot to get industrial parts without a lot of fuss. We are located in a spot where a lot of mechanics and factory guys pass by. Most of our day is spent looking through bins for the right size of bearing or seal. It’s a lot of technical numbers and cross-referencing different manufacturers. We don't have a fancy website or a huge marketing budget. We just have shelves full of stock and a counter where we talk to our customers. Some people have been coming to us for years, ever since we first opened the doors. They know they can just walk in, show us a worn-out part, and we’ll find the replacement for them. It’s honest work. Sometimes we get a bit backed up when a lot of people come in at once, and you might have to wait a minute while we finish up an order. We try to keep the coffee pot going for those times. We don't do any big corporate events or anything like that. We just stay open during our hours and try to keep the parts people need in stock. It can be a bit greasy, and the warehouse can get cold in the winter, but it’s what we do. It’s a straightforward business and we like it that way.
