341: Learning from Failure

But we do have a few announcements before we dig in and listen to what you and Ryan want to discuss today.

So the Lafayette, Indiana plant, we announced the opening of the new Ready Mix plant there in Indiana.

Talk to us a little bit about that, Jeff.

Yeah, that market continues to grow.

It's kind of supported by Purdue, the college there.

And we needed more capacity.

So John reached out and said he wanted some help.

So now he better start banging it out and making it happen.

We need some help.

Absolutely.

But no, Indiana market's been strong.

That plant and that location specifically over the last couple years has been very strong.

want to make sure that we're offering our customers the best service that we possibly can and that just marks another plant that we've put up i think that's about 12 so far that we've announced and many more many more to come we've got another one we're going to talk about we announced the location i don't know six months ago or so when we opened a portable plant on site at huber street in downtown atlanta but we just put up a state-of-the-art brand new wet batch plant steven's horizontal drum batch plant and it's it's the real deal.

So we're excited about sharing some pictures of that coming up here soon, but that's when it's about to open too.

So we continue to kind of focus on this greenfield strategy, keep filling in service voids and keep really trying to hone in and take care of our customers to the best of our ability.

All right, we have another fun, I feel like it's a notable giving back moment.

We had this Discovery Center Kids Museum in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

We have the exhibit there, the SRM Concrete Mixing Zone.

That was really sweet that we had the ribbon opening, ribbon cutting, and

it

was really cool.

So they have like a small little area there, space.

Yeah, in Tiny Town.

Kids can go and push the panel and the batch panel and roll up the block plant.

And it's really, really sweet.
