Beacon opens a trio of new branches
Less than a week removed from announcing it was focusing on growing its waterproofing division, Beacon revealed that it has opened three new locations.
The latest Beacon branches are situated in Lebanon, New Hampshire; Elyria, Ohio; and Roanoke, Virginia, serving residential contractors and lumberyards.
The new Lebanon branch is in Grafton County on the Vermont border.
“We are pleased to introduce contractors in this growing area along the Connecticut River to Beacon’s excellent customer service, product range, and digital tools like Beacon PRO+ to help them grow their businesses,” said Gerard Hill, Beacon regional vice president, New England.
Beacon said the latest Ohio branch will provide additional support to customers in the Cleveland market by providing a convenient location on the western side of town in Lorain County.
“We have watched the Cleveland-Elyria metro area continue to grow and recognize the opportunity to serve contractors more effectively by adding a location that matches the footprint of our customer base,” commented Todd Skaggs, Beacon regional vice president, Great Lakes.
The new Roanoke, VA branch is dedicated to serving lumberyard customers and is co-located with the Beacon exterior building products branch. “This location along Interstate 81 is key to serving our regional customers. Our inventory range and trucking routes are optimized for our lumberyard customers, and the experienced staff in Roanoke deliver industry-leading service,” explained Clint Wade, Beacon’s National Vice President.
Beacon has opened 10 greenfield locations and completed four acquisitions in 2023. The Herndon, Virginia-based company plans to open at least 15 new branches by the end of the year as part of its Ambition 2025 goals.
Last week Beacon announced that new locations focused on waterproofing have opened in Largo and North Orlando, Florida.
As part of the effort to grow its waterproofing division, Beacon also said it had Alan Ridge as division vice president in charge of sales and branch operations while Alex Miranda has been appointed regional vice president, East, and Steve Artz is now regional vice president, West.
Earlier this month, Beacon also acquired Silver State Building Materials located in Gardnerville, Nevada.
Beacon operates more than 490 branches in the United States and Canada, with a focus on distributing building products, roofing materials, and complementary products.
