SiteOne Landscape Supply has entered into an agreement to acquire Pete Rose Inc., a distributor of natural stone and hardscape material in the Richmond, Va., market. The deal is scheduled to close in January.

“Pete Rose is a terrific fit with SiteOne as they expand our natural stone and hardscape presence in the Richmond, Va., market. The addition of Pete Rose complements our existing branches that offer the full range of nursery, hardscape, agronomic, irrigation and outdoor lighting products. We have now completed nine acquisitions in 2017, and we continue to expand the number of markets where we provide a full range of landscaping products and services,” said Doug Black, chairman and CEO of SiteOne Landscape Supply.

“Pete Rose has a rich history and talented team that shares SiteOne’s passion and desire to provide excellent quality, service and value to their customers. We welcome them all to the SiteOne family,” said Black. “We are committed to delivering the best experience to our customers, and the combination of Pete Rose and SiteOne is yet another step forward in our mission to become the best full-line distributor in the green industry.”

This marks the second acquisition of a distributor of natural stone and hardscape materials in the past six months, with the other being the acquisition of Marshall Stone in September.

This has been a big year for SiteOne. Since going public last year, it has added locations in Los Angeles, Detroit and Las Vegas and acquired distributors in the Atlanta and Orange County, Calif., areas. It also opened its first distribution center and announced plans for two more.
