84 Lumber announces further expansion plans in California.
In 2020, 84 Lumber operated three California locations: Bakersfield, Clovis, and Beaumont. In the near future, 84 Lumber will have increased its presence in California to eight locations, plus two additional facilities currently in the permitting process for La Mirada and Lancaster. These new locations include a production yard and truss plant in Bakersfield; stores in Stockton and La Mirada; production yards in Lancaster and Riverside; and a truss plant expansion in Yuma, Arizona to service Arizona and Southern California.
As part of this expansion, 84 Lumber has finalized a deal to purchase certain assets from West Coast Lumber, with the plan of moving the West Coast Lumber team over to 84 Lumber as West Coast Lumber exits the production yard business. Under the leadership of divisional vice president Jorge Espinoza, a California native, the company is poised for success. The acquired West Coast assets and team will be integrated into 84 Lumber's Bakersfield location and its new Riverside location, which was previously Champion Lumber.
In addition to Espinoza, Mark Ingersoll, who was recently promoted to area manager for all California locations, as well as facilities in Arizona and Nevada, brings years of experience and strong leadership to facilitate these expansion efforts.
Owner and CEO Maggie Hardy is dedicated to developing the company's presence and service offerings in the western United States.
Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania, 84 Lumber Co. is the nation's largest privately held supplier of building materials, manufactured components, and industry-leading services for single and multifamily residences and commercial buildings.
