“In 2022 we opened a new branch in Seminole to better service the booming St. Petersburg construction market, acquired Advance Electric to expand our operations in Atlanta, and broke ground for a new regional distribution center in Miami, Florida,” World Electric President Tammy Livers said in the release. “We also opened another branch in Winter Haven just last week.
