McKinney, TX-based landscape supply distributor Heritage Landscape Supply Group, owned by SRS Distribution, acquired World Outdoor Emporium (WOE), a distributor of natural & manufactured stone, bulk materials, nursery and other outdoor living products. Founded in 1986 with Missouri locations in Wentzville and St. Charles — both outside of St. Louis — WOE is owned and operated by Pat Sneed and Brett Jensen and currently employs a team of  about 100 people. Sneed and Jensen will continue to lead their team post-acquisition.

Chris McMurrough, President of Heritage, commented, “We are thrilled to officially welcome Pat, Brett and the rest of their loyal employees to the Heritage family. WOE represents our first two locations in St. Louis, which will immediately establish Heritage as a major hardscapes player in the market. Pat and Brett have earned outstanding reputations over their respective careers, and we couldn’t think of a more capable team to act as our platform in a previously untapped market for Heritage.”

Pat Sneed & Brett Jensen, owners of WOE, collectively commented, “We are so excited to officially be a part of the Heritage family. When we began to consider bringing on a partner, our hope was to find an organization that would give us the resources to catalyze growth while allowing us to retain the entrepreneurial spirit that has contributed so much to our success. Shortly after meeting the folks at Heritage, it was clear that they were a perfect fit to take WOE to the next level. We want to give a genuine thanks to all of our employees, family, friends and loyal customers and vendors who helped us achieve this exciting outcome. On behalf of our entire team, we sincerely look forward to a bright future with our new partners at Heritage.”

Heritage currently operates under a family of distinct local brands encompassing more than 230 locations across 37 states. Heritage Landscape Supply Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of SRS Distribution, No. 3 on MDM’s Top Distributors List for Building Materials/Construction.  The Home Depot acquired SRS in June 2024 for $18 billion.
