Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing, wholesale-only distributor of marine and recreational vehicle parts and accessories, is expanding into a new, larger facility in the City of Norfolk, US.
The new 120,000sqft facility is almost double the size of the company’s current facility and will accommodate increased inventory, improved operational efficiency and enhanced logistics capabilities.
The $1.1 million investment will support the company’s continued growth and allow for increased inventory capacity and is expected to create around 30 jobs.
Land ‘N’ Sea plans to introduce approximately 5,000 new products.
“Land ‘N’ Sea is thrilled about the opportunity to expand our business footprint in Norfolk,” said Land ‘N’ Sea president Mike Conners.
This new location allows us to increase our inventory and space.

“This new location allows us to increase our inventory and space, while introducing an enhanced service model that will create additional jobs in the community.
“We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from the mayor’s office, as well as state and local officials, in welcoming us to our new home.”
Headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing has been active in the marine, RV and personal watercraft industries for 50 years.
In 1992, Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing expanded its footprint by acquiring Norfolk Marine Distributors, establishing a key regional distribution facility in the City of Norfolk.
Continued growth
“Virginia is proud to support the expansion of Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing, a company that has long been part of the Norfolk business community,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin who made the announcement.
“We look forward to Land ‘N’ Sea’s continued growth in Hampton Roads and the opportunities this project will bring to the region.”
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with the City of Norfolk and the Hampton Roads Alliance to secure the project.
Job creation
The company is eligible to receive benefits from the Virginia Enterprise Zone grant program.
VEDP will support Land ‘N’ Sea’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs in order to support employee recruitment and training activities.
Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing is a Brunswick Corporation brand and has a range of locations throughout North America.
