With several locations, The Granite & Marble Depot serves the Greater Chicago area, Northwest Indiana and the Wisconsin border. The Aurora, IL-based company specializes in fabrication and installation of residential and commercial countertops, tabletops, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and more.

“I was in construction and noticed the demand for countertops,” said Tarek Merhebi, owner/operator of The Granite & Marble Depot. “The business started in 2005 with five employees and a bridge saw. Today, we have multiple locations, over 60 employees, multiple waterjets, CNC machines, water recycling systems, and it feels like we’re only just getting started.”
