BEDFORD, Massachusetts — F.W. Webb Company opened a 140,000-square-foot store and warehouse in Amherst, New York, expanding its distribution and service capabilities in the Greater Buffalo market.

Located at 735 South Youngs Road, the new facility serves plumbing, heating, HVACR, and industrial contractors. It offers expanded product inventory, convenient pickup options and dedicated training space.

The building includes a 12,500-square-foot self-service counter area and a 65,500-square-foot warehouse. A three-acre paved outdoor storage yard provides additional inventory space.

Contractors can pick up materials through a drive-through pipe barn or use the facility's dedicated will-call center. Customers can place orders by phone, text or through the F.W. Webb mobile app.

The facility also includes a training center with seating for more than 40 participants. The space will host product education and certification classes focused on emerging technologies and changing regulations.

More than 40 employees transferred from F.W. Webb's previous Buffalo location to Amherst. The company plans to hire another 15 employees for the new store.

The opening also changes operations at F.W. Webb's existing Buffalo location at 37 Clyde Avenue. The wholesale counter is moving to Amherst. The Clyde Avenue facility will become a dedicated valve repair, testing, and maintenance shop operated by Alliance Specialty Group, an F.W. Webb subsidiary.

The shop will continue serving customers in the industrial, institutional, utility, and power generation sectors.

F.W. Webb entered the Buffalo market in 2022 through its acquisition of Stritt and Prieb, Inc.

The Amherst facility is part of the company's broader Northeast expansion. F.W. Webb opened facilities in Rochester and Canastota, New York, in 2025. In 2026, it opened stores in Somerdale, New Jersey, and Central Islip, New York, while relocating operations to modern buildings in Whippany, New Jersey, and Queensbury, New York.

The company also plans to open its second Central Distribution warehouse in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, in 2027.

A 6,230-square-foot Frank Webb Home showroom is also planned for the Amherst facility in 2027. The showroom will feature bath, kitchen, and lighting products, including working displays and bathroom vignettes. It will serve homeowners, designers, and contractors involved in remodeling and new construction.

The Amherst store is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
