According to Justin Dodson, Vice President with Bray & Scarff, the location within the two-building business community services the company’s network of 14 retail locations and one outlet center. “Companies in virtually all industries have been challenged by continuing supply chain issues created by the pandemic and we are no different,” Dodson explained. “Our business continues to perform extremely well and we were in need of additional warehouse space to store inventory such as refrigerators, dishwashers, washer and dryers, and cooktops. Laurel Business Center provides us with the ideal location to access our retail stores and customers throughout a wide radius, given its placement just off MD Route 198 and near other major highways. We are central to several major metropolitan areas from this spot.”
