LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

TABLE OF CONTENTS

WHAT’S NEXT? O ne of the hallmarks of a Business Observer story is we aim to look forward, not backward. From a commercial real estate trend to a strategy piece on how a company will go from $15 million to $50 million in annual sales, our focus is usually what’s next. In doing that, we want to inspire and inform, so you can make good decisions about your business. The annual Business Observer Top 500 issue is a bit different. While this issue has some valuable insights into the secrets of three growing businesses, it’s mostly a look back. A look back at what the 500 largest companies in the region we cover, from Polk to Collier counties, had in 2019 revenue. We are confident this look back, especially in the chaos and confusion of the coronavirus pandemic, will be as valuable as nearly any other content we deliver. It’s a treasure trove of information, from revenue and employee totals

at Publix ($38.1 billon, 89,467 employees) to tracking all the construction firms that surpassed $100 million in annual revenue. Other information on each company includes name of the top executive, date founded, total employees, address and website. A Business Observer team of seven editors and reporters spent parts of six months gathering data for the Top 500. With the pandemic in full swing for most of that time, that meant lots of digging, probing and more digging, given work-from-home protocols and other issues connecting with companies. The Top 500 is based on data provided by companies, through email, phone, text or an online form. We don’t use thirdparty estimates or data houses. A digital version of the Top 500, in Excel spreadsheets, is available at BusinessObserverFL.com/top500. While looking back like this, we believe, will prove highly useful for your business, we also know

thinking ahead matters as well — particularly in the unpredictable pandemic. And that includes the 2021 Top 500. We suspect COVID-19 will put a dent in many companies’ 2020 revenue totals. But we also know this information will be more valuable than ever, and we plan to deliver a compelling issue to you again next year. We hope you enjoy this edition of the Top 500. If you have any questions about companies in this year’s issue — or ones that didn’t make it — please reach out to me at MGordon@BusinessObseverFL.com. — Mark Gordon, managing editor

STOCK SYSTEM Builder nears $500 million in annual revenue by sticking close to a core principle: diversification of revenue streams.

MARK GORDON MANAGING EDITOR

he way Brian Stock looks at it, diversifying his company is an ongoing thing — not something to do one time and be done with it. That’s the core reason why he believes t he company, Naples-based Stock Development, was able to rebound from a dip in revenue in 2018 and, more recently, overcome some coronavirus pandemic hurdles. “We’re really a diversified company,” Stock says. “We’re not just a homebuilder anymore.” The 386-employee f irm posted $490 million in revenue in 2019, up 35.4% over 2018, when it had $361.8 million. Although nearly $362 million would make it one of the region’s largest locally based homebuilders, that figure was a 14.6% drop from 2017, when it had $423.64 million in revenue. Stock, in an early July interview, says it was too early in such a topsy-turvy year to project 2020 revenue. But the year will be stellar if May and June are his guide, not April. That’s because in April the company sold a paltry three homes, a low bar easily bested in May. Then June, Stock says, “was as good of a month I can ever remember having.” The sales goal was to put 21 homes under contact in June. The final tally: 45 contracts, with an average sale of about $1.4 million. “It’s been a very eventful

BRIAN STOCK, along with his father, founded Naples-based Stock Development in 2001. three-and-a-half months,” Stock says. “Our main focus has been the health of our staff and the health of our customers. We’ve had to be really flexible.” One example: The company moved its title company from inside the office to a tent outside the office to make it easier for social distancing. The latest moves designed to complement its homebuilding business, meanwhile, include expanding into condos and commercial development, in addition to targeting markets in Sarasota and Florida’s east coast. In the Sarasota area, it began building estate homes in The Lake Club in Lakewood Ranch in summer 2019. It’s also working on Fruitville Commons, an urban lifestyle community on 42 acres just off the Interstate 75 Fruitville Road exit. That project includes commercial space, hotels and luxury apartments. On the east coast, the company is working on several custom projects in Wellington and Palm Beach, including a $50 million house — built on spec, with no buyer — on 916 S. Ocean Blvd. That house, according to a prospectus on a website devoted to the proper-

ty, is a “true family compound, with eight bedrooms, 10-andthree-half baths and spectacular outdoor living space with front and rear loggia, center courtyard, pool deck and pool, plus direct beach access to an ocean cabana.” It’s the most expensive home the company has ever built. That house is also a long way from businesses Stock’s father and grandfather founded and ran, the places where Stock learned some of his key business lessons. A farmer, Stock’s grandfather had a supply business outside Green Bay, Wisc. Stock, along with his three brothers, cut grass and did other tasks for the company. Stock a nd h is fat her launched Stock Development together in September 2001 — a week before 9/11. They used land the family had bought in Naples as an investment for its

first project. The business got through the ensuing post-9/11 downturn, eventually, by diversifying its revenue streams. It did the same thing in the 2008-09 recession. Besides d iversi f icat ion, Stock Development’s strategy is to be nimble and opportunistic with its variety of businesses, such as when it sold its resale and rental realty unit, with 21 agents, to Premier Sotheby’s International Realty in 2018. Also in 2018, Stock Development sold Spectra, a 324-unit apartment complex it built on a 32-acre site in Fort Myers in 2017. Coast Ridge Real Estate bought the complex for $71.4 million. Another possible sale could close by the end of 2020, Stock says, with Inspira, a 304-unit upscale apartment project the firm developed Naples. That could be a $90 million deal. Diversification has brought another, ongoing advantage to Stock Development: Being involved in so many things, Stock says, keeps the team motivated and inspired. “We all have an entrepreneurial spirit here,” he says. “The whole team wants to keep working on these exciting projects.” BusinessObserverFL.com ■ AUGUST 2020

OSCAR HORTON and his wife, MIRIAM, at an event in Las Vegas where Sun State International Trucks won a top dealership award.

LONG HAUL Oscar Horton has mostly stuck with a consistent strategy for some 20 years, tinkering enough to build a $150 million brand.

BRIAN HARTZ TAMPA BAY EDITOR

stablished in 1902, International Harvester is one of the oldest and most well-known brands in trucks, tractors, buses and engines, and although it’s been through several recent transitions — including a name change, to Navistar, in 1986 — a constant presence, since 1974, has been Oscar Horton. Now the president and CEO of Tampa-based Sun State International Trucks LLC, Horton joined the company as a Memphis-based farm equipment salesman whose territory included rural Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi — not exactly friendly turf for a young Black man trying to make a name

for himself in business. “I saw things you wouldn’t believe, heard t hings you wouldn’t believe,” says Horton, now 67. “But this one gentleman, Bob Romer, he said, ‘You stick with me, and I’ll stick with you.’ He put me through every training program that International ever had to offer. He promoted me every chance that he could.” Romer, in turn, recommended Horton to Dan Ustian, who would go on to become CEO of Navistar in 2003. In the late 1990s, when Horton, then based in Chicago and overseeing the company’s foundry that made engine parts, told Ustian he wanted to go into business for himself as a dealer, he received the company’s blessing — albeit somewhat reluctantly. “He said: ‘Honestly, I’d hate

to see you go, but it won’t be like you’re going and leaving us. You are going to represent our product in the marketplace.’ And he was very instrumental in me coming to Tampa.” And what a boon Horton’s 20 years in Tampa have been for Navistar’s brands. Under Horton’s leadership, Sun State International Trucks LLC, a separate Tampa-based entity, has grown its revenue 540%, from $25 million in 2000 to $160.1 million in 2019. From 2014 to 2015, revenue increased from $108.3 million to $161.7 million, when Horton made two key acquisitions in Lakeland and Haines City. After consolidation, the company, with 200 employees, now operates in Tampa, Davenport, Brooksville and Sarasota. “Our goal, certainly, is $200 million and beyond,” Horton says. “We thought we could get close this year, until that virus came along.” The coronavirus pandemic has proved to be a challenge for Sun State International Trucks, especially because the company’s portfolio of Navistar-affiliated brands now includes IC Bus school buses — and schools opening back up in the fall is a big unknown. Horton says sales this year actually aren’t down as much as he anticipated, and he’s been able to weather the crisis with some cost-cutting measures. “We’ve taken advantage of [employee] attrition, but we haven’t laid anyone off,” Horton says. The company is also more cognizant of its inventory. With walk-in sales down, Horton directed his staff to keep orders to a minimum. “A lot of the trucks we have out here on the lot, we’ve financed them with somebody,” he says “So when you’ve got a $100,000 truck sitting around, staring you in the face every day, that’s not a good thing. We normally would carry more in-

ventory, but we’re down to just ordering the trucks that we need when we get them sold.” In addition to acquiring rival dealerships and adding more brands to Sun State’s product lineup, Horton has also made grow th-driving innovations in such areas as customer service and parts, which helped keep revenue f low ing during economic downturns. “The products we sell, they are not emotional buys,” Horton says. “You are not going to talk someone into buying a $150,000 truck if their business is not good.” Case in point: The company now offers mobile service, and instead of selling parts directly to customers that have their own technicians and workshops, it will issue items on consignment, essentially, for customers to have on hand, just in case they need it. “When you use it, you pay us,” Horton says. “All we need is the right to come around and check inventory now and then.” Horton foresees continued short-term success for Sun State, the pandemic notwithstanding. But it’s the longterm forecast that concerns him. Both his daughters, Kelli and Alison, work for Sun State, and he says the rise of electric vehicle technology will bring a reckoning if they choose to retain ownership of the business after he retires. “I want this to be more than a one-generation family business,” he says, “but it’s going to take a huge capital investment.” BusinessObserverFL.com ■ AUGUST 2020

efore starting TLC Diversified, a Palmetto-based contractor that builds infrastructure for the water and wastewater industry, Thurston Lamberson worked for a contractor in Clearwater. “He just needed a job in order to put diapers on the table,” says Dalas Lamberson, his son and the vice president of TLC. “I was a newborn baby.” Shortly after Thurston started working for the contractor, he became a superintendent for the firm. Six years later, he started his own business. A few years after that, Thurston put in a bid to buy the company he had worked for in Clearwater. He was outbid on the deal, but Dalas still thinks it’s impressive that his dad — who walked onto the job site as a laborer in the field — ended up submitting a bid for that same company. “It just shows you what perseverance and hard work can do,” Dalas says. “The American Dream is alive and well.” TLC has since grown into a company with 101 employees, projects across Florida and $47.1 million in gross revenue in 2019, up 114% from $22 million in 2016. One milestone in TLC’s expansion came in 1999, when the company bought a 5-acre complex from Waste Management in Palmetto for its headquarters. The company also has an office in West Palm Beach and a satellite office in Oldsmar in Pinellas County. Amid many years of growth, a challenging time in TLC’s history came in 2009 and 2010.

“We went through a couple very difficult years,” Dalas says. “My father, instead of letting people go, kept people employed. He could have easily let 40 or 50 employees go, but he kept everyone employed during the tough times. When the economy came back, we had a lot of our original team members we had groomed over the years to become key personnel, and we were able to come roaring back.” Dalas became vice president in 2011 after working with the company for eight years. Since them, he’s focused on growing the team and a pool of superintendents and project managers. “This company is strictly built on people,” he says. “I was hell-bent on finding the best people in our industry to help us grow and make this company what it is.” In hiring, he takes a specific approach: “I make sure I hire and focus on adding people in areas in which I’m weak.” Dalas has also made some counterintuitive marketing moves, including introducing radio advertising hiring campaigns and billboards. “I’ve spent $60,000 in billboards, but it’s paid off strategically,” he says. “TLC Diversified is synonymous with some of our largest competitors in the

TLC Diversified Vice President DALAS LAMBERSON says one key to the company’s success has been chasing larger, more complex jobs. country. Our name is thrown in the mix with nationwide contractors simply because of marketing and social media. Where that helps us the most is in the pool of employees. When an employee leaves another company, they now think of TLC.” Another key to the company’s success is chasing larger, more complex jobs. By going after those projects, TLC reaped a clear benefit — it weeded out some competition. “I would focus on more projects where there weren’t a lot of bidders due to the risk involved,” Dalas says. “I would go after jobs where instead of seven or eight bidders, there would be two or three bidders.” From 2018 to 2019, the firm grew revenue nearly 40%. Dalas says it was possible because the right employees were in place to strategically target projects. “We got a little bit of luck as well,” he says. “We submit on a job, and if we’re low

bidder, we get the job. It was just kind of the perfect storm.” Like many companies, TLC has seen impacts from the pandemic. None of its active projects was paused or canceled, but there have been delays on the administrative side of municipalities. There are jobs TLC was the low bidder on five months ago that still haven’t been awarded, for instance. “We see our revenue falling off in quarter three and four, but we still see a banner year in terms of profit margins,” Dalas says. He also expects 2021 to be a good year because of work the company landed in the first two quarters of 2020. For the years ahead, Dalas has his eyes set on larger jobs and more growth. “The recipe and formula is in place,” he says. “We have more than doubled in revenue in the last four years. I think that can be done again if that’s what we want to focus on. It’s certainly obtainable.” BusinessObserverFL.com ■ AUGUST 2020

Peter Maldonado started Chomps with $3,250. Shortly after, his co-founder, Rashid Ali, matched the initial investment of $3,250. Armed with a small batch of the very first Chomps beef sticks and huge dreams, they launched the brand in 2012 on a lowbudget website. They attribute their success to keeping a scrappy, start-up mentality.
