Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing Expands Norfolk, Virginia, Operations

08/13/2025
Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing, Inc., a wholesale-only distributor of marine and recreational vehicle parts and accessories, plans to expand its operations in Norfolk, Virginia. The $1.1 million project is expected to create 29 jobs.

The investment will include the relocation to a 120,000-square-foot facility, located at 3321 East Princess Anne Road, which will accommodate increased inventory.

“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, 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.”

Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) will support?Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing, Inc.’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. As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state funded, demonstrating Virginia’s commitment to enhancing job opportunities for citizens. The company is also eligible to receive benefits from the Virginia Enterprise Zone grant program.

“Land ‘N’ Sea has been part of Norfolk’s business fabric for more than three decades, and this expansion reflects both their confidence in the region and the rising demand in the marine and recreational vehicle industries,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Juan Pablo Segura. “This project is about more than just square footage—it’s about scaling operations, creating new jobs and deepening roots in a community that understands the value of logistics and supply chain innovation. We’re proud to support this growth alongside our local and regional partners.”

VEDP worked with the City of Norfolk and the Hampton Roads Alliance to secure the project.

“Land ‘N’ Sea Distributing’s expansion is a win for both Norfolk and the entire Hampton Roads region,” added President and CEO of the Hampton Roads Alliance Douglas L. Smith. “This project reflects the strength of our logistics and distribution sector and reinforces Hampton Roads as a strategic hub for business growth. We congratulate the Land ‘N’ Sea team and look forward to the positive ripple effects this investment will have across our regional economy.”

Land 'N' Sea Distributing, a brand of Brunswick Corporation, serves the recreational boating industry and related markets with an inventory and delivery across the U.S. and Canada.
