City Electric Supply opened a new branch in fast-growing Azle, TX, located 30 minutes outside of Fort Worth, TX. CES Azle is 6,200 sq ft with a complete warehouse and showroom. CES Fort Worth and Aledo are about 20 miles away from the new Azle store.
“Azle is a hub for surrounding areas and sees a lot of travel each day. We picked Azle as the location to open the branch because it’s near Eagle Mountain Lake, and CES felt a gap in supply there,” said Regional Manager Phil McKinney in the press release. “The branch is close to existing CES locations, and we felt it was a good place for us to grow in Fort Worth. There’s a lot of growth going on in Azle, and CES wants to be here while it’s happening.”
Branch Manager Collin Greene previously worked at CES Aledo in Outside Sales for several years and has nearly a decade of experience in the electrical supply industry. Sales representative Chase Spangler has previously worked in outside sales out of CES Aledo as well. Counter salesman Riley McNair is a former electrical apprentice, and Driver Anthony Valdez has industry experience too.
“The team I have here is second to none. Having people with experience is beneficial for us, and we can help get customers what is best for them,” said Collin. “We are a young group, and we are prepared to go the extra mile.”
“The building was an empty shell, so we had a contractor come in and do a build-out for our offices, breakroom, etc.,” said Collin. “The location is already helping existing CES customers, and it’s been helping new customers in this area.”
Groups like E-Conn Enterprises LLC who specialize in building and assisting designs for multi-family, hospitality, and residential communities needed a supply house that could help them in a few key areas. “This Azle location is just a few minutes away from our main office,” said Chris Portales, Sr. Project Manager for E-Conn, in the release. “I’ve worked with CES for over 13 years now. This location has plenty of space to help store material for our projects, and we are looking forward to being able to utilize this location.”
