Twin City Brick & Stone

What Twin City Brick & Stone does

Twin City Brick & Stone is a family-owned masonry product distributor headquartered in Savage, Minnesota, operating since 1988 and serving the Twin Cities/Minnesota market. The company aggregates third-party manufactured masonry products and resells them alongside in-house design services to commercial and residential customers. Its catalog spans brick (500+ options across 16+ vendor brands including Acme, Glen Gery, General Shale, Hebron, Lee, Marion Ceramics, Old Carolina, Palmetto, Pine Hall, Ragland, Summit, Triangle, US Brick, Brampton, BrickCraft, and Cherokee), natural stone (200+ options), cut stone, and masonry supplies.

The business model is a traditional distribution + value-add services model. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-driven sales — not recurring contracts — supported by an outside sales team (Michael DeGrood, Tony Bath, Brady Sloan) and an in-house Design Room showroom that hosts CEU classes, vendor presentations, and architect lunch-and-learns to influence specification decisions. Customer mix is dual-segment: commercial accounts including named logos such as Chick-fil-A, ALDI, and Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, alongside a residential long-tail of homeowners and custom builders. Differentiation rests on supplier breadth, regional delivery capability, sample board preparation, and 36 years of family-owned continuity.

Direct peers

• General Shale: Manufacturer of brick, stone, and masonry products with a Midwest and national distribution footprint. Comparable as both a vendor partner and a competing direct-to-contractor channel for the products Twin City Brick & Stone resells.
• Acme Brick Company: One of the largest U.S. brick manufacturers and distributors. Comparable because it sells the same brick product lines through showroom/specification channels; however, it also manufactures, making it a partially overlapping vendor-competitor to Twin City Brick & Stone.
• Belden Brick Company: Family-owned brick manufacturer with direct-to-customer distribution across the Midwest. Comparable as both a vendor and competing direct channel for the brick category Twin City Brick & Stone serves.
• Mutual Materials: Masonry and hardscape manufacturer/distributor serving the Pacific Northwest and Midwest with brick, stone, and concrete products. Closely comparable product mix and customer base (contractors, builders, homeowners) to Twin City Brick & Stone.
• Glen-Gery: Brick and stone manufacturer with direct sales to builders, architects, and homeowners across the Midwest. Directly comparable as a competing distribution channel for the same brick products Twin City Brick & Stone carries.

Broad incumbents

• Home Depot Pro: National big-box retailer with a pro-focused brick, stone, and masonry assortment. Competes with Twin City Brick & Stone on commodity masonry SKUs and contractor convenience, but lacks the specialty consultative showroom and Design Room experience.
• Lowe's Pro: National big-box retailer serving contractors and homeowners with brick, stone, and masonry supplies. Comparable as a competing commodity channel but does not match the specialty product depth or showroom-driven specification experience Twin City Brick & Stone offers.
• Boral Building Products: Large diversified manufacturer and distributor of stone, brick, and masonry systems across North America. Comparable at the product level — manufactured stone veneer and masonry components — but operates at significantly greater scale and breadth than Twin City Brick & Stone.
• Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope / Oldcastle APG: Large national manufacturer of masonry, hardscape, and building envelope products. Comparable product overlap in brick, stone, and masonry supplies, but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
