Longtime Plumber in King City to Retire After over 47 years

After over 47 years of serving residents in King City and throughout South Monterey County Richard Benson of Benson Plumbing and Supplies in King City will be retiring on October 7, 2021. Benson said that he will be having surgery sometime after he decides to call it a career which will require a 6 week recovery period where he will be unable to do any work. In addition, Benson purchased a home in Oceano and plans to relocate to that area sometime in 2022. Benson has spoken to numerous plumbers over the years about taking over his business, but he has been unable to find anyone who will commit to doing plumbing work in South Monterey County. Benson said that one of his long-time employees will stay on his payroll doing minor plumbing work in the area for at least a few more years, but beyond that he's had a very difficult time finding someone who will buy the business or take over what he's done in the area for over 47 years. Benson said that he will miss serving customers in King City and throughout South Monterey County, but knows it's time to step away and is looking forward at spending more time with his family once he's retired.
