84 Lumber is more than doubling its presence in California, with the addition of several new stores and a component plant.
The new locations are comprised of new stores in Stockton, Lancaster, and Riverside (site of the old Champion Lumber), Ca. Plans also include a truss plant in Bakersfield as well as a framing yard there. These new sites, along with already established stores in Bakersfield, Clovis, and Beaumont, will bring 84 Lumber’s presence to eight total locations in the state.
“The new stores and component plant are examples of 84 Lumber’s dedication and continued commitment to better serve our customers and communities,” said 84 Lumber COO Frank Cicero. “I’m excited to watch these stores grow and develop over the next five years. 84 Lumber is committed to California, and we look forward to providing more opportunities for our associates in these markets.”
Jorge Espinoza, the divisional vice president for the western division, started his career with 84 Lumber in California. “Growing our business in the state of California is exciting for me because it’s where I’m from and where everything began for me at 84,” he said.
84 Lumber will be expanding a component plant in Yuma, Az., to service southern California. Stores are planned for Reno, Nv., and in the Salinas/California coastal area in the future.
84 Lumber currently operates 310 facilities nationwide, including 234 stores, 14 component manufacturing plants, 28 engineered wood product (EWP) centers and 34 door shops.
