KJ: Yeah, absolutely. I founded Triton Stone in 2006, along with my family. We are headquartered in New Orleans. We now have 32 locations across 17 states comprised of slab and tile, showroom galleries. We have fabricator supply centers and some regional distribution centers. We import and distribute, natural stone sinks, tiles and tools.
I really always enjoy coming on your podcast, especially the first one, and I am so excited for this one.
