About Our Shop

Ellis-Van Pelt Inc. is a 3rd generation family owned business in Tampa, Florida for over 80 years, with roots in the warehousing and material handling equipment industry.

Over the years we have witnessed many changes both in the products we sell, as well as the many other locations we have operated in.  Ellis-Van Pelt, Inc., is a new and used office furniture, lockers, shelving and material handling equipment company.

In 1997 we purchased the Historic Antonio Santaella Cigar Factory, a 52,000 sq ft building in the West Tampa area of Tampa, FL. We began doing business out of the first floor and basement of the factory.  We soon began leasing space on the upper two floors to local artists and small businesses and continue that practice today.

In 2005 we purchased Brandon Restaurant Supply, a new and used food service equipment dealer. In 2009 it began operating as the restaurant division of Ellis-VanPelt. Thus adding another dimension to EVP's ever growing footprint.
