ROCK HILL, S.C. — Rock Hill is the fifth largest city in South Carolina, with a large mix of business growth. The city has had a business retention and expansion program in effect for over 25 years. City Electric Supply has opened a second location in the city. CES Rock Hill East will assist with the developments of York County.
“Rock Hill East is only about five miles away from our first location,” said District Manager Shawn Odom. “This location is close to Interstate 77, so it’s easier for customers to locate our branch. This new location is also close to CES Lancaster. Having three branches, two in Rock Hill and one in Lancaster, close to each other will save customers time – regardless of where they’re driving from.”
And it couldn’t be a better location for BEC Contracting, a customer of CES for close to two years.
“This new Rock Hill East branch is at a perfect location,” said Andrew Burman, Owner and President of BEC Contracting, LLC. “My team can now easily go in the morning, pick up materials they need for the job, and head out to get to their projects.”
Finding the perfect location took time—seven months to be exact. The team spent time upfitting the building and added 2,500 square feet for additional warehouse space. The renovations also include 18-foot ceilings to store more products.
“Opening a new branch is a process that takes time, but we’re extremely happy with the outcome. We worked as a team to prepare this location for our customers. My team and I look forward to supporting the community and watching what we’ve built grow,” said Branch Manager Andrew Long.
Long is a native of the area who has lived in Rock Hill most of his life. He has over 20 years of industry experience, which ranges from delivery driver to commercial and industrial sales. Andrew worked at the first CES Rock Hill location and was later promoted to branch manager at CES Gaffney.
But he’s not the only team member with experience in the industry.
“Our Operations Manager Paul Frye came from our Waxhaw branch. He is extremely knowledgeable about the products we sell but also about branch operations. Outside Salesman Conner Gregory has experience with electrical contracting and industrial plant maintenance,” said Long.
“We have a good crew of hard workers who are excited to make this branch successful,” said Long. “The CES Rock Hill East staff is ready to provide customers with the best service. We’ll do everything possible to ensure they get the materials that they need, and on time.”
