Phillips & Company Acquires Controlling Interest in Pedone Pit, LLC

BROOKSVILLE, April 8, 2026 – A significant change in local ownership has occurred with Phillips & Company, a prominent investment group based in historic downtown Brooksville, announcing its acquisition of a controlling interest in Pedone Pit, LLC. The deal, finalized earlier this week, transfers majority ownership of the long-standing aggregate mining operation located just off County Road 581 to Phillips & Company.

Pedone Pit has been a familiar name in Brooksville for decades, supplying essential construction materials for numerous local projects, from residential developments to road improvements. The acquisition by Phillips & Company signals a new chapter for the operation, though details regarding immediate operational changes or staffing adjustments have not yet been released.

Representatives from Phillips & Company stated that the acquisition aligns with their strategic vision to invest in foundational local industries that contribute directly to Brooksville's growth and infrastructure. "Pedone Pit has been a cornerstone of our community's development for generations," a spokesperson for Phillips & Company commented. "We are committed to ensuring its continued success and its vital role in supporting Brooksville's future."

The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Residents and local businesses will be watching closely to see how this change in ownership impacts the availability and pricing of construction materials, as well as any potential environmental or operational shifts at the site. Pedone Pit's operations have historically been a topic of discussion among residents living near the facility, particularly concerning truck traffic and noise.

Further announcements regarding the future plans for Pedone Pit under its new ownership are expected in the coming weeks. The acquisition represents a notable consolidation within Brooksville's industrial sector and could have ripple effects across the local construction and development landscape, from historic downtown revitalization to suburban expansion.
