The business grew and prospered. By the middle 1960's a larger location was needed. Shrode Plumbing & Mechanical Co. Inc, relocated further north to the Lockhart area, covering three acres at the north end of Pine Hills Road. Shrode businesses here included Central Sanitation Company and North Orlando Plumbing Supplies, both selling materials and operating from the same Overland Road location. Business growth continued with the Disney boom. Soon all of Central Florida was covered. Each city and county had their own Plumbing License.
