HLS Outdoor, a part of the Heritage Landscape Supply Group family of businesses, opened a branch location in Eagan, Minn. The location will carry a full line of irrigation and landscape supplies, outdoor lighting, agronomics, tools and accessories, and other complementary products.
Elliot Barim will lead the new Eagan location. Barim has over a decade of industry experience and has served in numerous roles, including as a driver, a counter sales representative, and a branch manager. As manager of the Eagan location, Barim will look to build relationships with the area’s contractors, according to a news release. Heritage Landscape Supply Group said greenfield openings, in addition to strategic acquisitions, will continue to play an integral role in the company’s plan to build a strong national network of independent distributors across the country.
“Following our entrance into Minnesota earlier this year, we are thrilled to once again expand our footprint in the market with a second location to better serve our loyal customers,” Matt McDermott, president of Heritage Landscape Supply Group, said in a news release. “It is very special to lead a company where we can create our own identity and write our own history in this great industry. Our growing Heritage family is motivated by a singular focus of excellence in service, execution, and a lifelong commitment to our customers.”
Heritage Landscape Supply Group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of roofing and building products distributor SRS Distribution. McKinney, Texas-based SRS formed the portfolio group in February 2019 and immediately acquired CPS Distributors and Automatic Supply. Since forming, Heritage has acquired Normac, MCS Landscape Supply, and Florida Integration Supply, opened several greenfield locations under the CPS Distributors and Automatic Supply brand names, and launched the HLS Outdoor brand and platform in the midwest region of the United States. Heritage Landscape Supply Group currently operates 70 locations in 11 states across eight distinct local brands.
