CES Kennedale, TX: Open for Business
[Kennedale, Texas] – City Electric Supply has arrived in Kennedale, Texas, and they’re bringing with them some of the newest innovations in branch technology and customer service.
The CES Kennedale location moved into a former grocery store, and the building was gutted and upfitted to fit the needs of an electrical wholesale distributor.
“We are incorporating all the new technology and products into this location to hopefully set the bar high for new locations to come in our Texas market,” Branch Manager Philip McKinney said.
McKinney has been with the company for seven years and relocated to Kennedale from the Westinghouse branch in Charlotte, North Carolina. He and his branch staff have a diverse range of backgrounds and experience levels, from new grads of the Texas A&M Industrial Distribution Program to veterans of the electrical field with 20+ years of experience.
“We have a very well-rounded and prepared staff to put Kennedale on the map,” McKinney said.
Aside from his team, McKinney feels the branch has several assets that position them for a successful future. CES Kennedale is in a fairly new shopping center, close to several other high-traffic retail outlets and accessible from a major highway. They’re also just south of the booming Fort Worth and Arlington areas.
“Kennedale is an up-and-coming area that still boasts a small-town feel,” McKinney said of their location. “It is a close-knit community and we are very fortunate to be in such a great town.”
The branch opened for business in early February and held its grand opening at the beginning of March. McKinney said that the new design ideas they incorporated into the branch, along with process improvements to create a faster, more productive customer service experience, have started them off on the right foot. He’s confident both the branch and the City Electric Supply business in Texas have a bright outlook.
“Texas is truly the land of opportunity,” he said. “Everywhere you look there is new construction, renovation, and industrial work. I am moving myself and family half way across the country in hopes to be part of the Texas success story.”
