Our History
The Bath Barn is the retail showroom for Mervin Zimmerman Inc. and was named with the company’s roots in mind. Mervin Zimmerman Inc. was established in 1968 in a barn in Lititz, PA and has been family owned and operated ever since.
The Bath Barn offers the latest designs and technology and features a variety of working bathroom displays, along with hundred of quality fixtures, parts and accessories. We think you’ll love our selection and appreciate the personal service you just won’t find at the ‘big box’ stores.
