MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - The Noland Co., a Ruud distributor, has opened its 13th Prostock location. The new Myrtle Beach store joins the company’s other locations in Alabama, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. More than 175 contractors and 10 vendors attended the grand opening, which featured a catered lunch and door prizes.

“The Prostock model has helped us grow our business as a one-stop-shop meeting the full scope of contractors’ needs,” said Terry Weibel, Noland’s Myrtle Beach branch manager. “Contractors benefit from our ability to stock reliable Ruud heating and cooling equipment, as well as other aftermarket parts and supplies, and from our real-world experience as contractors.”

The new 12,000-square-foot warehouse features a 1,500-square-foot showroom. As with all other Prostock stores, it also features a well-lit shopping environment with color-coded signage and products designed to assist contractors in getting what they need quickly and easily.

“We are passionate about helping Prostock distributors such as Noland Co. earn the business and loyalty of their contractor customers,” said Angela Burkey, marketing services administrator, Rheem Replacement Parts. “Noland, like our other Prostock distributors, is able to differentiate itself with unmatched inventory of parts and supplies, and by expert personnel.”
