On "The Granite Group Enters New York and Expands Footprint With Two Acquisitions and New Branch"

Granite Group's move into New York and Maine consolidation is smart territorial play, but it signals what every regional contractor already knows: national supply consolidation keeps eating local market share. When a major distributor plants a flag in your state, it's not just about competing on price—it's about locking in contractor loyalty through convenience, inventory depth, and relationships before someone else does. If you're still working with smaller independents or multi-state chains without real regional presence, this is a warning to lock in your supply strategy now, because the next five years will look very different.
