Roark adds Weyerhaeuser's Distribution Center

Roark Capital Group has bought Weyerhaeuser's Distribution Center (WDC) in Assonet, Mass., for an undisclosed amount.

WDC is a wholesale distributor of building products, with a specialization in engineered wood products. WDC's operations were acquired by a subsidiary of Wood Structures Inc., a company owned by affiliates of Atlanta-based Roark Capital. Biddeford, Maine-based Wood Structures makes roof trusses, floor trusses and wall panels, and distributes engineered wood products for residential and commercial buildings.

"WDC is very complimentary to Wood Structures," said Lawrence J. DeAngelo, managing director at Roark. "This distribution center will allow Wood Structures to extend its geographical reach beyond its core markets into Western Massachusetts, Vermont, and Eastern New York. The acquisition will also play a significant role in our growth strategy."

Roark's franchise businesses include Carvel, Cinnabon, Schlotzsky's, Moe's Southwest Grill and Seattle's Best Coffee International, McAlister's Deli, Money Mailer, Fast Signs and Batteries Plus.
