Leadership Transition New CEO John Merritt appointed July 13, 2026, with founder Price stepping down. This leadership shift presents an opportunity to engage on strategic supplier partnerships, product expansion, and potential restructuring of procurement processes to align with a stabilized growth plan.

Expansion Footprint Recent Rhode Island expansion and a North Kingstown location open signal ongoing geographic growth. This opens cross-sell opportunities with regional contractors and distributors in the Northeast, as well as potential needs for local inventory management and logistics partnerships.

Strategic Funding Winter 2020 Trilantic North America investment and active board involvement indicate access to capital and growth-driven initiatives. Approach for capex-friendly partnerships, co-investment in warehouse expansions, and technology upgrades could align with their acquisition-led growth model.

Technology Stack Utilizes NetSuite, WooCommerce, iCIMS, WordPress, and data tools (Piwik PRO). Potential sales angle includes offering integrated supplier portals, ERP/CRM integrations, e-commerce enhancements, and training resources to streamline ordering and improve customer experience.

Product & Market Focus Specializes in outdoor living with a hardscapes emphasis and a strategy to partner with family- and founder-led companies. Target collaborations with compatible suppliers, masonry and stone centers, and localized outdoor living brands to expand product assortment and strengthen market position.
