If you've driven down Battleground Avenue lately, you may have noticed that Guilford Builders Supply has left the building. We just took this photo at the end of June. Now, Stock Building Supply has opened in the above location at 1621 Battleground Avenue, across from the building that formerly housed Anton's Restaurant. Guilford Builders Supply, in business for over 50 years, was bought out by Stock Building Supply. Battleground Avenue is changing before our eyes!
Stock was formed in Raleigh in 1922 and, as of 2013 is now publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol, STCK, and has 65 locations in 13 states. Until recently, their Greensboro store was located off West Market Street, close to the airport. We'll have to get you a photo with the STOCK sign in place on the above building.
We were rather tickled that "Pig Pounder" Brewery's pink and black SUV photobombed us. They are also located in this area, so, we're guessing they were going back to the barn! Urban street photography is so much fun. You just never know what you are going to see!
Quite a photobomb!
