From humble beginnings in post-war Miami, the Yarborough family has built an international tile business focused on serving the community with quality tile. When Dave Yarborough bought a World War II surplus truck to begin a tile setting business, little did he realize that in the early part of the new millennium, he would be at the helm of a company considered to be one of the largest tile distributors in the United States.
For those who don’t know, D&B Tile Distributors was named after Dave and his wife, Betty. Throughout more than 50 years in business, the family has worked together to build a business that serves homeowners, contractors, architects, and designers alike. Dave’s son, Harold Yarborough currently serves as CEO, running the operations. While Cindy Yarborough, Dave’s daughter, managed the Palmetto Bay operation until her recent retirement.
Today, D&B Tile Distributors deals with more than 40 manufacturers and imports more than 30% of its product from Italy, Spain, South America, and the Far East. Within the recent years, there have been many factories built in the U.S. that make it more efficient to have many more American-made products available for our clients. Each year the Yarboroughs travel and meet with factory representatives in around the globe to inspect and order new lines for the Florida and Caribbean markets.
D&B’s objective is to provide everything needed for a beautiful tile installation and plenty of it. “We maintain an inventory worth more than $5 million in our Sunrise operation, which also serves as our headquarters,” said CEO, Harold Yarborough.
