Graybar to open in Joplin

Seems the new branch they opened in Lincoln, Neb., last week wasn't all Graybar, St. Louis, had in the works. The distributor will open a branch in Joplin, Mo., on Jan. 30. The facility, with a staff of three full-time employees, is located at 1705 S. Main St., and will stock local inventory with daily deliveries from Graybar's Springfield, Mo., location. Area Manager Stephen Wallace will lead the branch operations. The new facility will serve the cities of Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Neosho, Carl Junction and the counties of Newton and Jasper.

“We've been serving the Joplin area out of our Springfield location for some time and are excited to bring a higher level of service to our customers with this new branch,” said Graybar's St. Louis District Vice President Mike Dumas.
