Outdoor Living Supply Expands its Reach with the Acquisition of The Rock Place

In an exciting move that strengthens its position in the outdoor living market, Outdoor Living Supply (OLS) has acquired The Rock Place, a prominent distributor of hardscape, natural and manufactured stone, porcelain, and landscape products. With this strategic acquisition, OLS expands its footprint into Tennessee, gaining four additional locations in the greater Nashville market.

The Rock Place, founded in 2008 and currently owned by Lee and William Marbet, has established itself as a leading regional distributor over the past 15 years. Lee Marbet will continue to oversee operations and take on a regional leadership role at OLS, ensuring a smooth transition for customers, suppliers, and employees.

"We are thrilled to welcome The Rock Place to the OLS family of companies," said Brian Price, CEO of Outdoor Living Supply. "The Rock Place has an exceptional team and shares our commitment to customer service and growth. This partnership provides us with an exciting opportunity to expand in middle Tennessee."

Lee Marbet, owner of The Rock Place, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "Over the years, we have transformed The Rock Place from a single retail location into a leading regional distributor. Joining forces with OLS will give us the platform and resources needed to take our business to the next level, creating growth and expanded opportunities for our employees and customers. We're excited to embark on this new chapter."

The acquisition was facilitated by Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, serving as legal advisor to OLS.
