June 19th marked the opening of three new Grainger branches, continuing the company's market expansion program that began just a few years ago. The new branches are in Montgomeryville, Pa.; Troy, Ohio; and Dulles, Va.

The Montgomeryville branch serves customers in neighboring North Wales, Lansdale and Fort Washington, and is among several enhancements Grainger has made to its Philadelphia network. The company expanded showrooms at its Trenton, N.J., and Mt. Laurel and Norristown, Pa., locations, and in May relocated its West Chester, Pa., branch to a larger location in Frazer, Pa.

The company's Troy, Ohio, branch serves customers in neighboring Piqua, Sydney and Tipp City, all in the suburban Dayton area. New branches have also been opened in the West Chester/Fairfield and Franklin/Springboro areas, and enhanced showrooms were launched at the company's Blue Ash, downtown Cincinnati, and Florence branches.

Grainger's new Dulles,Va., branch will serve customers in suburban D.C., including the communities of Sterling, Reston and Herndon, Va. They are part of the company's expansion program in the Baltimore/D.C. area, which includes a new location in Columbia/Ft. Meade, Md., and expanded showrooms in several surrounding locations.
