POOL & PATIO CENTER HISTORY

Faye Hubbard, a Tuscaloosa native and mother of three, founded the business from her home in 1972.

In 1992, her daughter Tonia and son-in-law Randy Simpson continued the tradition of being a family-owned and operated company by assuming ownership and leadership of the business.

In May 2026, Josh Oswalt took over as the new owner. Having been with Pool & Patio Center for over 12 years, Josh continues the legacy of quality products and exceptional customer service into the next chapter.
