Beacon is continuing its rapid expansion strategy.
This morning the company announced that it has opened new locations in Fort Myers and Milton, Florida in addition to Saginaw, Michigan,
The roofing and building products distributor said the new branches will serve residential and commercial roofing contractors.
The new Fort Myers branch is on the south side of the city.
“We are pleased to now have three branches serving the Cape Coral-Fort Myers metro area, including a location specializing in waterproofing products,” said Jack Gill, Beacon regional vice president, Florida. “This is a fast-growing market that also requires resilient weather solutions due to its coastal location. We have what builders need from the roof to underground protection.”
The Milton branch adds both residential and commercial roofing products and services in the Pensacola metro area, Beacon said.
“The beautiful Gulf coast and Naval base make this an attractive area and we see the growth in requirements for building materials,’ said commented Lynn France, Beacon regional vice president, Southeast. “Contractors will appreciate Beacon’s customer service and product range to help them grow their businesses.”
Saginaw marks Beacon’s 12th branch in Michigan.
“We are pleased to begin serving roofing contractors in the Saginaw area. Our product range and the opportunity to use Beacon PRO+, our industry-leading app, will help busy customers who are on the go,” explained Jason Martin, Beacon regional vice president, Great Lakes.
