Beacon expands in two metro markets

Beacon has opened another pair of greenfield locations.

The building products distributor announced new branches have arrived in Indianapolis, Ind. and Burnsville, Minn. The branches expand Beacon OTC network service in the Indianapolis and Minneapolis-St. Paul markets.

The lates  locations carry the leading brands of roofing and complementary products that Beacon is known for, as well as the company’s private label TRI-BUILT brand of building products. 

Last week Beacon reported the opening of greenfield locations in Leitchfield, Ky. and Hampton, Va.

“We are pleased to bring the Beacon customer experience to a wider group of contractors operating in the Midwest,” said Jason Taylor, president of Beacon’s West Division. 

Jake Gosa, president of Beacon’s North Division, added, “Our team of building materials experts are focused on helping customers save time, operate more efficiently, and grow their businesses. We are also proud to give back as we join the community by helping neighbors through our national partnership with Rebuilding Together.”

“The support that Beacon is providing our community will help us to make repairs that will keep our neighbors in the homes they love,” said Ryan Taylor, board president of Rebuilding Together Indianapolis. “Beacon is committed to putting people first, and that commitment is evident in their actions.”

Based in Herndon, Va., Beacon operates more than 470 branches throughout all 50 U.S. states and 6 provinces in Canada.

Last week, Beacon also launched its new Beacon PRO+ mobile app. 

Contractors in the markets have immediate access to Beacon PRO+, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, Beacon said.
