SRS Distribution opened greenfield locations in Dayton, Ohio, Fayetteville, N.C., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Sun Valley, Calif. Each location will carry a full line of residential and commercial roofing products with a focus on serving roofing contractors, remodelers, and builders.
The Dayton, Ohio, branch is SRS Distribution’s first in the metro area and will connect its Columbus, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio, locations. The branch will operate under the Willoughby Supply brand name. The Fayetteville, N.C., branch will operate as Superior Distribution and expands SRS’ presence in eastern North Carolina. The Pittsburgh branch represents the distributor’s third store in the metro area and will operate under the B&L Wholesale Supply brand name. The Sun Valley location will operate under the RoofLine Supply banner and represents SRS Distribution’s sixth branch in the Los Angeles metro area.
Dan Tinker, president and CEO of SRS Distribution, commented, “We are pleased to announce the opening of four new greenfields in four different markets. Every greenfield location is the result of careful planning and deliberate execution by our dedicated team and I am incredibly proud of the people that have enabled SRS to continue its pace of opening branches in both new and existing markets throughout the country.”
With its latest greenfield openings, SRS Distribution has opened 21 new branches in 2019. The distributor most recently opened four Suncoast Roofers Supply branches in Florida in July. SRS—a portfolio company of Leonard Green & Partners and Berkshire Partners—has also been growing via acquisitions in recent months. The distributor acquired 21-branch Travis Roofing Supply in August and two-unit Slover Roofing Supply in July, and acquired Schultz Roofing Supply in September.
McKinney, Texas-based SRS Distribution operates more than 300 locations across 44 states under a family of 33 local brands. The distributor ranked 7th on the 2019 ProSales 100, generating sales of $2.72 billion in 2018.
