Beacon, a wholesale distributor specializing in roofing, waterproofing, and exterior products, opened new locations in Athens, Ga., and Midlothian, Texas.

The Athens branch will serve the area’s residential and commercial markets, including the University of Georgia.

“Our complete product catalog, including the TRI-BUILT line, is now available for customers in Athens,” said Lynn France, regional vice president of the southeast. “We are also pleased to give roofing contractors in the area access to our Beacon PRO+ app to run their businesses more efficiently.”

The Midlothian, Texas branch will service the area’s residential and commercial markets and represents the tenth total location in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

“We now have ten locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex making it easier for contractors who want a convenient branch to pick up materials,” said Texas regional vice president Peter Lippert. “For contractors who require job-site delivery, the Beacon OTC network links our inventory and fleet allowing us to deliver on time, conserve fuel, and reduce emissions.”

In 2024, Beacon has opened 12 new locations and completed seven acquisitions that have added 28 branches year-to-date.
