McKinney, TX – March 26, 2021:
Heritage Landscape Supply Group, Inc. (“Heritage”) announced today that it has acquired Southern Stone Supply (“Southern” or the “Company”), an independent distributor of pavers, natural and manufactured stone, aggregates, and other landscape products. The effective date of the transaction is March 26, 2021.
Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Company was founded in 2016 by partners Eric Mullen & Tucker Thorpe. Eric & Tucker will continue to lead the Company under the Southern Stone Supply banner, ensuring continuity and consistency for employees, customers, and supplier partners.
Matt McDermott, President of Heritage, commented, “We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to grow our footprint in North Carolina with our first location in the Triangle region. We are fortunate to have Eric, Tucker, and their team of customer-focused employees join the Heritage family. Southern Stone Supply will make an ideal addition to our growing footprint across the Southeast.”
Eric Mullen & Tucker Thorpe, co-owners of Southern Stone Supply, collectively added, “With all that our team has accomplished over the last five years in building the Southern Stone Supply platform, we believe we had a bright future ahead and certainly were not a company that was for sale. When Heritage approached us, we listened to their story and vision, and immediately began to see ourselves as growth partners. Heritage shares our passion for the hardscapes industry and we look forward to partnering together to kick off our next phase of growth in the Carolinas.”
