About Waterbeds 'n' Stuff

We started out selling "stuff" wholesale from behind the sofa in a one-bedroom apartment. More than 50 years and 13 Ohio stores later, that small business has turned into one of the largest smoke shop operations in the country.

Our Story

It started in 1968, when our founder Jerry Spero drove to San Francisco and came home a changed man. Back in Columbus, Ohio, he saw that people were ready to break out of the box and do things their own way too. So, in 1969 he began selling pipes, posters, incense, and "stuff" wholesale from behind the sofa in his apartment, under the name The Warehouse.

In 1972, that small wholesale operation bought out its largest customer, a waterbed shop, and Waterbeds 'n' Stuff was born. Over the following decades, the company grew into one of the industry's largest wholesale operations and expanded to 13 retail locations across Ohio.

Several years ago, we brought that same selection online as waterbedsnstuff.com, now the premier destination for glass pipes, dab rigs, vaporizers, and smoking accessories, reaching customers across the entire U.S.
