THE HISTORY OF PACIFIC SHORE STONES
2002
Donald, Marco and Vinny have their first experience with the natural stone industry in Los Angeles. They come to understand the challenges of purchasing and importing high-quality stone into the U.S., and are inspired to improve the process by working closely with quarries in Brazil. Eager to try their hand in the industry, they begin brokering containers to distributors in the U.S and Pacific Shore Stones became a stone distributor.
2004
Pleased with their success at importing and delivering quality containers, they open the Los Angeles location to serve fabricators and consumers directly.
2006
The partners decide that Austin and the Central Texas markets offer great opportunities to bring Pacific Shore Stones’ products and services to Texas. They launch their stone distribution center there as the largest indoor facility in Austin.
2007
Following the success of the Austin location, the partners open a warehouse in San Antonio, TX to better serve that local market.
2008
In January, Andre Ogorodnik, Central California Operating Partner, opens a new location in Bakersfield, California. Looking to expand more, the partners open a location in Oklahoma City – the largest stone distributor in the area with a 25,000 square foot warehouse on three acres of property.

After a successful opening in Oklahoma City, the partners decide to enter the Tulsa market and open, at that time, the company’s largest warehouse, a 30,000 square foot facility.
