The Whole Family Under One Roof
In 1967, Leroy Merritt built his first company. Little did he know he was actually building a family - three distinct businesses focused on creating lifelong relationships. Today, Leroy’s philosophy is still at the core of the Merritt Companies. We come to work every day intently focused on being the kind of people Leroy would be proud of – the kind of people that put you first.
