On "Webb Opens New NYC-Area Location, Moves Another"

Webb's expansion into Central Islip and the Jersey move aren't just real estate shuffles—they're a bet that supply chain proximity still matters even when everybody claims they can order online. A contractor in that region gets same-day pulls on specialty stock and bulk buys without fighting shipping delays, which is worth something when you're three hours into a job and need a part before lunch. The real test is whether they can staff these bigger warehouses competitively and actually use that square footage to stock deeper, not just prettier showrooms. If they do, it's a smart move; if it's bloat, that's money that could've gone into tech or pricing power.
