SEPTEMBER 29, 2023

SRS Distribution Inc. (“SRS”) announced today that it has acquired Sunniland Corporation (“Sunniland” or the “Company”), a distributor of residential & commercial roofing products and related accessories. The Company also provides professional grade fertilizers to the landscape supply market. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Sanford, Florida, Sunniland was founded in 1884 and is currently owned and operated by Tom Moore. The Company has a branch network of 22 locations across Florida and South Georgia. Tom and the rest of the Company’s leadership team will continue to lead Sunniland’s dedicated employee base under the existing brand, ensuring continuity and consistency for customers, suppliers, and employees.

Dan Tinker, President and CEO of SRS, commented, “We could not be more excited to welcome Tom and the Sunniland team to the SRS family. The Company is one of the most respected independents in the industry and will be an excellent fit within our existing branch network in the important Florida market. We have known Tom and admired his business for many years and are truly excited for what we can now accomplish together.”

Tom Moore, owner of the Company, commented, “My family and I have spent over 40 years building Sunniland’s brand, reputation, and culture. We have always prided ourselves on being an independent distributor, so the decision to join forces with SRS was not taken lightly. SRS’ employee-first mentality and familial atmosphere has created a truly unique platform where promoting exceptional customer service is at the heart of everything they do. I firmly believe SRS is the best home for our people and the business we’ve built and am confident that the future is bright for our two great companies.”

Marquis Celebrates 25 Years of Make-A-Wish Partnership

Published

LAS VEGAS, NV — December 3, 2025 — Marquis® Spas, a leader in luxury hot tubs and swim spas, is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its partnership with Make-A-Wish®, a milestone that has transformed the lives of more than 1,250 children through the gift of hydrotherapy. Providing ongoing relief for symptoms attributable to many childhood illnesses and conditions.

The journey began in 2000, when Marquis granted its first wish for Andrea, a 15-year-old leukemia survivor. Today, Andrea is cancer-free and raising a family of her own. Her story illustrates the ongoing power of a hot tub to provide more than relaxation. It inspires healing, resilience, and family joy.

“For 25 years, our dealers have been at the heart of this program,” said Melinda Herber, Customer Experience Manager at Marquis, who manages program logistics. “Every wish is more than a hot tub delivery—it’s a beacon of renewed hope. This is about showing up for families when it matters most, and it’s part of what makes the Marquis retail network so special.”

While not the only hot tub manufacturer to partner with Make-A-Wish, the Marquis program stands out as a model for sustained commitment. Marquis dealers often develop long-term connections with wish families and fellow volunteers, while also benefiting from positive recognition and shared pride in making wishes come true.

As Marquis reflects on this 25-year legacy, the company continues to prioritize loyal partnerships, especially with retailers who share its values. “Joining the Marquis network means more than selling premium spas,” said Todd Shannon, Chief Revenue Officer. “It means being part of a brand that delivers lasting enjoyment, builds community trust, and demonstrates leadership through action.”

Josh Cowley, CEO of parent company May Manufacturing, is equally committed. “We believe that every wish granted reflects the heart of our company and our dealer network,” said Cowley. “We’re excited to continue this legacy and invite retailers who share our values to join Marquis in making an even broader impact in the years ahead.”

About Marquis
Marquis® has been manufacturing premium hot tubs and swim spas since 1980. With a commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and community, Marquis partners with retailers across the globe to deliver wellness, relaxation, and joy. A subsidiary of May Manufacturing and proudly made in Las Vegas, NV.
