History

Established in 1957.

Allen Pools & Spas was founded in 1957 by Dan Allen Sr. who was working for the State of Vermont as a Registered Civil Engineer. He was contacted about designing and building a swimming pool for the Girl Scout Camp at Tammarack Notch in Mendon, VT. He agreed and built his first pool. He was then contacted by a few more people that had purchased pool kits and hired him to install them. Realizing the potential for a thriving business, he started selling and installing in-​ground pools all over Rutland and Windsor counties. Even after building thousands of swimming pools, Dan Allen Sr. never learned to swim a stroke!

In 1958, we opened our first retail store on Woodstock Avenue in Rutland, VT. Dan Allen Sr. built in-​ground swimming pools and tennis courts in the summer and sold peanuts and cashews to local bars in the winter. Two years later, we moved to a temporary location in Center Rutland while construction of our new retail facility was under-​way– our existing Rutland store.
