Comfort Supply has opened its newest location in Knoxville, Tenn.
The new warehouse and showroom at 608
Business Park Lane is the fifth Comfort Supply store
in the state. It follows locations in Nashville,
Murfreesboro, Cookeville
and Clarksville.
The new
14,000-square-foot Knoxville
store will offer residential and commercial HVAC equipment. The company is set
to host an open house for contractors at the new location on Thursday, April
21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“Knoxville
is a particularly good location for Comfort Supply because of its central
location within east Tennessee,”
said David Sosna, branch manager for the new store. “Knoxville's
proximity to and partnership with Oak
Ridge, and its investment in energy research also make
it an extremely attractive location for a HVAC business.”
Knoxville
and Oak Ridge, Tenn., form what has been called Innovation Valley, a geographic
area that includes the headquarters of the Tennessee Valley Authority and
facilities for the U.S. Department of Energy. In 2010,Forbesmagazine ranked Knoxville 56th on its
list of Best Places for Business and Careers. Within theForbes ranking, Knoxville landed 27th in
the Cost of Doing Business, an index based on the cost of labor, energy, taxes
and office space.
“Knoxville was the next logical step for
Comfort Supply,” said CEO Clay Blevins. “We look forward to working with HVAC
retailers within the community and being a part of this forward-looking city.”
