HERNDON, Va. — Beacon Roofing Supply Inc. has acquired Wholesale Roofing Supply, a distributor of residential roofing materials located in the Dallas suburb of Grand Prairie. From its nine-acre facility, WRS serves customers throughout the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and is expected to have sales of approximately $34 million in 2014.
Rick McLaughlin, WRS’s president who will continue to lead WRS for Beacon, said, “The entire WRS team is excited to join Beacon, which has a strong, long-standing presence and excellent reputation in the Dallas-Ft. Worth market. Being part of Beacon will allow WRS to bring our customers new product offerings and enable our employees to share in Beacon’s continuing growth and success. The Potter family over the last 59 years has built a great company, and I want to thank them both for their years of support and for deciding to partner with Beacon to help secure WRS’s future.”
