Beacon (Nasdaq: BECN) announced today that it has opened new
locations in Austell, GA, Marquette Heights, IL, Des Moines, IA,
North Charleston, SC and Bastrop, TX to serve residential roofing,
commercial roofing and waterproofing contractors.
The new Austell, GA branch is in Metro Atlanta. “This is our
tenth branch serving Atlanta area contractors. The population
continues to grow west of the city, and we have the residential and
commercial roofing products and services to support contractors as
they grow their businesses,” commented Lynn France, Beacon’s
Regional Vice President, Southeast.
The new branch in Marquette Heights, IL is in Metro Peoria. “We
are pleased to begin serving roofing contractors in the Peoria
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 Larry Augello, Beacon’s Regional Vice President, North
Central.
The new branch in Des Moines, IA adds a second location to this
busy market. “We are excited to be more accessible for customers
serving the downtown Des Moines area and have made it easy for them
to reach us right off Interstate 235. We have all the roofing and
complementary products needed for residential projects,” explained
Brett Kinning, Beacon’s Regional Vice President, Northern
Plains.
The new branch in North Charleston, SC is dedicated to servicing
waterproofing customers. “This location is fully stocked with
specialty products and staffed by a technically trained team to
assist with projects that require sealants, coatings, air and vapor
barriers, and other waterproofing products necessary for
construction. With the inherent weather exposure in coastal Georgia
and Carolina, I’m thrilled to bring our knowledge and product range
to this region,” commented Alan Ridge, Beacon’s Division Vice
President, Waterproofing.
The new branch in Bastrop, TX is in the greater Austin area.
“This is our sixth location supporting contractors in the
fast-growth Austin area. The Beacon OTC® network works very well in
this area allowing us to differentiate on service and product range
making our customer experience stand above the competition,”
commented Peter Lippert, Beacon’s Regional Vice President,
Texas.
Beacon has opened 26 new locations and completed nine
acquisitions in 2023. Footprint expansion is an important part of
our Ambition 2025 plan and we continue to deliver on our
commitments to drive above-market growth to better serve
customers.
