JGA Corp., Atlanta, announces its 25th anniversary as a wholesale supplier of roofing and building products. JGA Corp. was founded by John G. (Jimmy) Alston. The firm began with the acquisition of John McDaniel Wholesale Supply Co., a 30-year-old, full-service hardware wholesaler turned roofing material supplier.
Within its first five years, JGA Corp. had acquired several other wholesale supply companies, expanded its sales territory into South and North Carolina, and opened a branch location in Savannah, Ga. Over the course of the next five years, JGA began operating branch locations in South Carolina and Florida, and built the corporate headquarters facility it occupies today.
