Pacific Shore Stones Opens New Location

AUSTIN, Texas — Pacific Shore Stones is expanding to open its 14th location, in Springdale, Ark.

The stone import/wholesale company is in the process of building a brand new custom-designed warehouse and showroom in Springdale, and will open initially in a temporary space to begin serving the area until the new building is complete.

The temporary warehouse will house a full selection of inventory from Pacific Shore Stones. The facility will carry a selection of exotics, such as onyx and quartzite, in addition to granite, marble, soapstone, travertine and limestone.

The new warehouse, which is scheduled to open in November, will be located approximately 100 yards away.

“We’ve experienced great success in Arkansas already through our location in Little Rock, which opened in 2010,” says Marco Pereira, Pacific Shore operating partner. “We wanted to take the opportunity to increase the customer base we can serve and also our distribution channels in the region by adding this location in Springdale.”

“The central position of this new location allows us to reach markets further to the north, including Missouri,” added Vinny Tavares, Pacific Shore operating partner. “We are excited to be able to increase our distribution reach to this area.”

The Springdale location team will be led by Jonathan Bussell, whose 15 years of stone-industry experience includes sales and work with tools and equipment suppliers.
