How Heritage is leading the outdoor industry

By Emma Peterson. 

Through key partnerships and initiatives, Heritage is uplifting outdoor living professionals around the country. 

Founded in 2018, Heritage’s vision is to form a “network of the best independent distributors to provide exceptional customer service while increasing our value as a trusted growth partner to top manufacturers in the industry.” And they are well on their way to that, with their Pool Supply Group uniting 160+ locations across 36 states and the Landscape Supply Group boasting 32+ distribution brands and over 210+ locations across the USA. To learn more about this industry leader, Karol Weyman hosted Brittainy Klein and Rachel Mohorn for an episode of OutdoorTalk™.  

Rachel is the director of marketing for Heritage Landscape Supply and Brittainy is marketing director at Heritage Pool Supply. The duo started by sharing some more context to who Heritage is and their mission, with Rachel explaining, “We're still in our infancy in terms of how many years we've been under the name Heritage Supply Group. However, with the acquisitions across the country, some of these companies have been around for over 100 years, and so the amount of knowledge is just incredibly deep. It really speaks to our slogan, Deep Roots, Shared Vision.”   

And building a network through acquisitions is just one of the ways that Heritage is leading the outdoor industry. They are also creating a connected digital community through their partnership with OutdoorCoffeeShop™ and building bridges with other organizations and professionals outside of the outdoor industry with the Heritage Cares foundation. Brittainy explained a bit of what this foundation does:  

Heritage Cares is how we give back to our communities and support those that are in need. From a pool standpoint, we throw a concert and host an auction at NESPA every year, and all the money that we raise on tickets and the auction goes back to Heritage Cares. One of our biggest initiatives is supporting Step into Swim, which is an organization that works to provide children in communities swim lessons. 

Rachel shared what the landscape group does, saying, “On the landscape side, our big Heritage Cares initiative is Project Evergreen, which is an organization that works to expand green spaces across the United States (like parks, football fields, etc.) and operates the Green Care for Troops program which is all about helping military families care for their yards when their loved ones are deployed.”  

Overall, Heritage is a leader in the outdoor industry not just because of the impressive numbers their networks boast, but because of the ways they go above and beyond through Heritage Cares and their online initiative.
