Beacon, the distribution giant, is on a tear in 2023 after announcing on June 30 that it had opened four new locations, two in Texas, one in Florida and one in Tennessee. With the latest branch openings, the company has nearly achieved its 2023 projection of 15 openings in just half a year.
The new branch in Ruskin, Fla., is in Hillsborough County, part of the greater Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater market. “This location adds further service for customers in our Tampa Beacon OTC network,” said Jack Gill, Beacon’s Florida regional vice president, in a statement announcing the new outlets. “We are pleased to open along the Interstate 75 corridor to optimize deliveries and increase convenience for contractors needing to pick up building materials for residential and commercial projects.”
