Crawford Electric Supply/Sonepar recently opened a branch near Leander, TX, 23 miles from Austin, TX. As the city of Austin and surrounding areas continue to grow, Crawford is excited to expand to better serve its customers in the region. The new location includes 12,000 sq ft in combined warehouse and counter space to allow customers to self-serve when picking material. Customers can walk the isles to shop the more than 2,600 stock-keeping units (SKU)s of inventory and reduce time spent waiting to pick up their material. The new branch receives daily material shipments from the nearby 90,000-sq-ft Austin facility, ensuring healthy supply levels and accommodating special job-specific needs.
Located at 1501 Volta Drive in Cedar Park, TX, the branch is equipped to service the local residential and commercial markets. Leading the new location is Tyler Kuenast, a Texas A&M graduate with a degree in industrial distribution and more than five years of experience. “This area is rapidly growing, and I am excited to have the opportunity to kick-off the self-service model for Crawford,” he said in the press release. “I am confident it will elevate our customers’ experience and alleviate operational bottlenecks caused by wait times. We are ready to welcome customers today, but our grand opening is scheduled for April 2022.”
