A Legacy of Service: Georgia Underground Superstore Celebrates 35 Years

10th Jul 2026

Georgia Underground Superstore is celebrating 35 years of serving the utility construction industry with the gear, grit, and get-it-done attitude that crews count on.

For 35 years, GUS has been built around one simple idea: utility contractors do not have time to chase fiber, boxes, pipe, hardware, and safety gear across five different vendors. You need a supplier that understands the work, stocks what you need, ships it fast, and backs every order with knowledgeable service experts who understand the importance of getting your crew back up and running before the weather rolls in.

That is where GUS has made its mark.

From underground construction supplies and HDD products to fiber optic cable handling, aerial installation, safety products, reel trailers, contractor equipment, outside plant, and more, GUS has grown into the go-to superstore for the contractors who build, repair, and keep America’s utility infrastructure moving. 

The company’s mission has stayed tough and practical: stock the products contractors need, offer the best quality from leading manufacturers, ship orders quickly across the United States, and bring real utility construction knowledge to every order. 

“Thirty-five years does not happen by accident,” said David Bartosh, CEO of Georgia Underground Superstore. “It happens because crews trust you when they are buried in work, sometimes literally. Our customers are out there pulling cable, laying pipe, cutting concrete, boring, trenching, sweating, fixing, and finishing the job. GUS was built for those people. We are proud to have had their backs for 35 years, and we are just getting warmed up.”

This anniversary marks more than a milestone. It is a salute to the contractors, operators, project managers, municipalities, utilities, broadband crews, and field teams who have helped shape GUS from a Georgia-based supplier into a utility construction superstore with reach across the country.

And in true GUS fashion, the celebration is not polished up with fancy talk. It is about honoring the work.

Here’s to thirty-five years of digging, drilling, pulling, blowing, climbing, fighting, cussing, and “we need it yesterday.”

As GUS looks ahead, our company remains focused on the same customer-first promise that got us here: keep the shelves loaded, keep the orders moving, keep the knowledge sharp, and keep providing the crews who do the hard work with the best service in the industry.

“The utility construction industry is not slowing down, it’s booming” added Randy Benhart. “Fiber, power, water, gas, telecom — this country runs on the sweat of the hard-working contractor. Our job is to make sure they have what they need to get it done. That was true 35 years ago, and it is true today.”

This fall, Georgia Underground is rolling out the gear, firing up the demos, and bringing the utility construction crowd together at The Utility Equipment Showcase in Georgia and Texas.

Customers, partners, vendors, and jobsite pros are invited to get hands-on with new product introductions and live demonstrations from the biggest brand names in HDD, aerial, fiber, and construction tools. From drilling additives to high-speed connectivity and infrastructure, this is where you need to be to kick tires, ask questions, swap stories, and see what’s coming next.

Bring your crew. Bring your questions. GUS will provide the food and the fun.

Be sure to join us:

Addison, TX – September 23rd, 9 am to 5 pm.

Or

Forest Park, GA – October 21st, 9 am to 5 pm.
