What geographic regions does Core & Main cover?

How does Core & Main source products for its distribution network?
As a specialty distributor, Core & Main sources pipes, meters, hydrants, storm drainage components, and fire protection equipment from manufacturers and maintains inventory across its branch network. The firm’s value proposition lies in local availability backed by a national supply chain rather than in proprietary deal flow or fund structures.
