Beacon (NASDAQ:BECN), the leading publicly-traded specialty wholesale distributor of roofing, waterproofing and related exterior products, announced today that it has opened four greenfield branches to better serve both residential and non-residential roofing customers.
New branches in Lafayette, Indiana and La Crosse, Wisconsin will serve these upper Midwest markets. "Both locations are well positioned to provide a full range of exterior products to new and current customers seeking to grow their businesses in adjacent towns. Contractors will benefit from our team's knowledge and service commitment, as well as access to helpful tools such as online ordering via our industry-leading Beacon PRO+® app," commented Larry Augello, Beacon's Regional Vice President, North Central.
The new branch in St. Augustine, Florida will further serve the First Coast area. "Beacon specializes in the building materials and services that this busy construction market requires. Our new location adds another convenient, well-stocked branch that includes our private-label TRI-BUILT® product line that delivers professional results at a competitive price," commented Jack Gill, Beacon's Regional Vice President, Florida.
The new branch in Frisco, Texas will serve the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. "This Beacon location is the eleventh to serve this active new construction, repair and replacement market. We are pleased to join the fast-growing Frisco community and strengthen the Beacon OTC® network that gets contractors what they need when they need it," commented Peter Lippert, Regional Vice President, Texas.
Beacon continues to drive above market growth through footprint expansion via acquisitions and new greenfield branches. Adding locations and teams to deepen customer service is an important element of our Ambition 2025 plan. Beacon exceeded its Ambition 2025 revenue and shareholder return targets in 2023 and continues to advance its ongoing efforts to achieve its full potential.
