High Country Lumber, Bishop, Ca., has acquired Home Lumber, Bishop, from third-generation lumberman Brent Johnson.
The purchased facility was one of three Home Lumber yards earlier operated by Brent’s father, Milt Johnson, until he sold them to Stock Building Supply in 2006. Three years later, Stock announced plans to shutter the Bishop location and son Brent stepped in.
“It has truly been a pleasure to serve the local and surrounding communities with building materials for the past 15 years,” Brent Johnson said. “I have decided it is time to return and retire to Southern California. This allows me more time to spend with my family and to pursue other opportunities. I chose to sell the assets of Home Lumber Company to High Country Lumber, a larger but still locally owned company, in hopes that the transition would be easier and would still provide excellent service for our customers. I have been blessed and am grateful for my time in Bishop and the people I have had the opportunity to work with.”
Founded in the late 1970s, High Country operates a full-service lumberyard with Ace Hardware store in Bishop, as well as a local Trends InsideOut design showroom and a home center in Mammoth Lakes, Ca. It became an employee-owned company in 2022.
