Heritage Landscape Supply Group revealed that it has acquired World Outdoor Emporium (WOE), a distributor of natural and manufactured stone, bulk materials, nursery and other outdoor living products.
“We are thrilled to officially welcome Pat, Brett and the rest of their loyal employees to the Heritage family,” said said Chris McMurrough, president of Heritage. “WOE represents our first two locations in St. Louis, which will immediately establish Heritage as a major hardscapes player in the market. Pat and Brett have earned outstanding reputations over their respective careers, and we couldn’t think of a more capable team to act as our platform in a previously untapped market for Heritage.”
Founded in 1986 with locations in Wentzville, Mo., and St. Charles, Mo., WOE is owned and operated by Pat Sneed and Brett Jensen and currently employs a team of roughly 100 people. Pat and Brett will continue to lead their dedicated team, ensuring continuity and consistency for customers, suppliers and employees.
“We are so excited to officially be a part of the Heritage family,” said Sneed and Jensen. “When we began to consider bringing on a partner, our hope was to find an organization that would give us the resources to catalyze growth while allowing us to retain the entrepreneurial spirit that has contributed so much to our success. Shortly after meeting the folks at Heritage, it was clear that they were a perfect fit to take WOE to the next level. We want to give a genuine thanks to all of our employees, family, friends and loyal customers and vendors who helped us achieve this exciting outcome. On behalf of our entire team, we sincerely look forward to a bright future with our new partners at Heritage.”
