Beacon continues Texas growth
Beacon announced that it continues to grow in Texas with the opening of greenfield locations in Brownsville and Georgetown.
The roofing and building products distributor now operates 32 branches across the state.
According to Beacon, opening a location in Brownsville provides service in the Rio Grande Valley region of South Texas. The new Georgetown branch is in the vibrant Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown metro area, where customers are expected to benefit from inventory and on-time delivery via the Beacon OTC network.
“Both residential and commercial contractors will gain service and expertise from us in these growing Texas markets,” said Peter Lippert, Beacon’s regional vice president, Texas. “The customer experience we provide will save contractors time and help them to serve their own customers. We also look forward to being active in our new communities, giving back via programs like our national partnership with 'Rebuilding Together'."
Following the opening of pair of new Texas locations, Beacon has opened 13 greenfield branches in 2022.
The Herndon, Va.-based company said the expansion demonstrates its commitment to its Ambition 2025 goals for customer excellence and growth.
“We are thrilled to be supported by Beacon in our mission to repair homes, revitalize communities and rebuild lives,” added Jesse Porter, Executive Director of Rebuilding Together Austin. “The essential building products Beacon distributes are critical to much of our outreach.”
In recent months, Beacon has made a concentrated effort on growing its business in Texas. Beacon opened a greenfield location in Lubbock in October. In the prior month, Beacon announced the opening of new locations in College Station and Sherman, Texas.
Beacon operates more than 470 branches in the United States and Canada, serving a customer base of more than 80,000 customers.
