Yesterday
Year 1994 began the journey down the road of humble beginnings for Darrell S. Turner Distribution Incorporated. Operations originated in a two story home prior to year 1996 relocation to a Rock Island, Illinois office. This process supported the corporate theory of “growing out of as opposed to growing into”. With this in mind; an additional move in 1998 to a larger facility with multiple offices, warehousing and a show-room was warranted as continued growth demanded. The family owned distribution center’s success evolves around satisfying client’s needs. Since its establishment; DST Distribution’s mission has been that of providing innovative resource solutions for MRO Products and Facility Services. Product selection consisted of: janitorial / packaging materials and equipment. Office papers and supplies were complimented by a diverse selection of restaurant / break room products. As time progressed, the needs of clients began to broaden and more service requests were asked of DST; predominately in the areas of janitorial and specialized courier. This began the start of the service sector: DST Cleaning Services. Contract cleaning, steam carpet cleaning, snow removal and medical specimen courier services comprised this sector.

Consistent growth and opportunity has enabled the corporation to relocate during year 2005; into a larger facility purchased in Davenport, Iowa. Multiple real estate acquisitions resulted in the birth of DST Property Management; a full service Real Estate Maintenance and Management Solution.
