Rochester branch now open
“We had a really good turnout for this ceremony,” said RMS CEO Mike Sill II. “The city of Byron has been fabulous throughout this whole process, and it was great to see so many Chamber of Commerce members out for this. We also had representatives from our builder, AB Systems, DeCook Excavating, and some local politicians as well. It was a great start for this location.”
The Rochester branch is the 14th overall location for RMS and the third new facility it has completed
recently as the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids locations both relocated to new buildings in 2020. The Rochester location, however, is unique as it is a new brand-new geography for RMS.
“This
is an exciting opportunity for RMS because it is a new market for us,” said
Sill. “Outside
of the Twin Cities, the Rochester metropolitan area is the second-largest
market in the state of Minnesota, and it is one of the fastest growing because
of all the investments the Mayo Clinic is adding. It aligns well with our goal
of growing our Aggregate Division. There is a lot of natural rock and big
aggregate producers in this market that can support a branch of this size.”
The 15,000-square-foot building features four drive-through service bays, a dedicated wash bay, a parts warehouse, employee offices, a training room, and an equipment yard.
In addition to serving customers in the booming Rochester area, the southeast Minnesota location will also allow RMS to provide more adequate coverage throughout the region, including northeastern Iowa.
“Being in Byron will allow us to reach customers in northeastern Iowa,” added Sill. “From here, we can offer faster responsiveness to the contractors and aggregate providers in that corner of the state.”
