Grainger Enhances Presence In Alaska And Hawaii

Santa Ana, CA - Grainger, a local supplier of facilities maintenance supplies to businesses, this week opened a new, expanded showroom at the company's branch located at 6240 B Street in Anchorage. Grainger has been a member of the Alaska business community for more than 15 years, serving customers such as the military, government institutions, and contractors, as well as the petroleum, mining and tourism industries.

The company's Alaska expansion which includes the new Anchorage showroom and a new full-service branch in Fairbanks, scheduled to open early this fall, is in response to customer feedback and the growth throughout the state. "Our customers told us they needed more products available locally and we listened," said Tom Carr, Branch Manager, Grainger. "We understand that to our customers time is money, so we designed our new Anchorage showroom with speed and convenience in mind, enabling customers to quickly get the products they need and get back to their jobs."

In Hawaii, Grainger has recently relocated its existing Honolulu branch to a new, larger facility nearby at 2833 Pa'a Street. The new Grainger branch, which is now more centrally located with convenient access from Salt Lake Boulevard and Puuloa Road, will continue to serve local customers such as contractors, the hospitality industry and government institutions.
