The merger between Brooklyn-based Green Depot and Chicago-based Greenmaker is nearly complete.
Within months, Greenmaker Supply will have its signs and website changed to Green Depot, making the Green Depot chain the nation’s largest supplier of green building materials.
”I think there’s mutual respect in the way Greenmaker and Green Depot do business, and we have more to gain as partners than adversaries,” said Ori Sivan, Greenmaker Supply’s co-founder and now Green Depot’s director of marketing development.
The merger officially took place last November. Since then, the green supply stores have been ironing out the bugs in delivery, shipment, product placement and billing.
The new Chicago Green Depot will remain at the same location – 2500 N. Pulaski in Chicago. Sivan hopes the merger will be complete at the start of the Chicago Green Festival at Navy Pier on May 16 & 17.
Both Greenmaker Supply and Green Depot began in 2005. Green Depot has stores in Boston, MA; Brooklyn, NY; Greenport, NY; Stoneham, MA; Newark, NJ; Manhatten, NY and Philadelphia, PA. It also has almost a dozen distribution centers on the East Coast.
Green Depot is a one-stop shop for builders and homeowners who want green products and building materials.
