McKINNEY, Texas – SRS Acquisition Corporation announced that it has opened a new location in Knoxville, Tenn. under the Superior Distribution name.

The location will carry a full line of residential and commercial roofing products and focus on servicing the area’s premier roofing contractors, remodeling contractors and home builders. The location will service the Knoxville metropolitan area and surrounding communities throughout Eastern Tennessee.

The Superior Distribution branch in Knoxville, Tenn. will be led by Branch Manager Wake Gerrish, who has a distinguished career of 19 years in the industry, predominantly in the Knoxville market. Wake brings the local relationships, energy, and leadership abilities to build a strong team and provide roofing contractors with outstanding service and support. This location will be part of Superior Distribution and Wake will report directly to Frank Glasscock, District Manager of SRS’ Superior Distribution southern district.

“Expanding into the Knoxville market has been a key initiative for us since we acquired Superior Distribution last year,” said Ron Ross, Chief Executive Officer of SRS Acquisition Corporation. “We are very proud that with this location we have executed on our original vision to transform Superior from a one branch independent to a regional company operating five locations in just one year’s time. Knoxville was attractive

to us because it allows us to expand our footprint in Tennessee, a state that, like North Carolina, was very high on our list of strong markets, and it allows us to next look towards gaining a presence in Nashville during the coming year.”

Headquartered in McKinney, Texas, SRS Acquisition is a building products distribution holding company that with the addition of this new location will operate 59 locations in 23 states under the names: Suncoast Roofers Supply (Florida), Southern Shingles (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas), Rowe Supply (Georgia, South Carolina), Atlanta Roofing Supply (Georgia), Wilson Wholesale (Illinois, Minnesota), Century Building Supply (Illinois), River City Wholesale (Kentucky), Superior Distribution (Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina), Shake & Shingle Supply (Colorado, Kansas, Missouri), Stewart Building & Roofing Supply (Arizona), Roofline Supply (Oregon, California), Stoneway Roofing Supply (Washington) and Pace Supply (Pennsylvania, Connecticut).
