Deere, based in Moline, IL will pay $135 million for LESCO Inc., which will become part of its John Deere Landscapes, doubling the number of its stores by adding 332 LESCO locations.

“We seek business opportunities that bring new customers to John Deere and that offer new products and services to our existing customers,” said Nate Jones, president of Deere’s commercial and consumer division. “We have a strong commitment to serve professional landscaping and golf course customers.”

With approval by both LESCO shareholders and regulators, the deal is expected to close by the end of June.
