Colonial Electric Supply, King of Prussia, Pa., has expanded into a new territory with the opening of its twentieth counter location, this one in Brooklyn, New York. The new location is expected to open its doors within the first quarter of 2011. Family-owned Colonial Electric Supply, which has locations throughout the Mid Atlantic region, serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, is making its first move into New York.
Located at 326 Rockaway Ave., the Brooklyn location is the former site of Liberty Electric Supply, which operated there for 75 years before being acquired over a decade ago. Steve Mayer, former chief financial officer of Liberty Electric Supply, is joining the Colonial Electric Team as executive V.P. of the New York Region. Curtis Pecherek, a long-time Colonial employee, will become the branch manager of this site.
