Beacon opened a greenfield branch location in Lubbock, Texas. The branch will establish Beacon’s service to residential and non-residential customers in the Lubbock market, covering Crosby, Lubbock, and Lynn counties. The opening is the second expansion in recent weeks in the Lone Star State for Beacon. The distributor recently opened branch locations in College Station, Texas, and Sherman, Texas, providing service to the Bryan-College Station and Sherman-Denison markets.
“I am confident that the Beacon customer experience will be appreciated by contractors in Lubbock. Our team of building materials experts will help customers grow their businesses by saving time and operating more efficiently,” Peter Lippert, Beacon’s regional vice president – Texas, said in a prepared statement. “We are also proud to join the community by participating in the Chamber of Commerce and continuing our commitment to Toys for Tots.”
The Lubbock branch will be stocked with leading brands of roofing and complementary products, including Beacon’s TRI-BUILT brand. According to Beacon, contractors in the Lubbock market will have immediate access to Beacon PRO+, the company’s digital platform that allows contractors to manage their business online.
“This branch opening in the vibrant Texas market continues to demonstrate our commitment to making Ambition 2025 investments to drive above-market growth and delight our customers with operational excellence,” Julian Francis, president and CEO of Beacon, said. “We are on track to open approximately 15 locations this year.”
