Carter Lumber expands in Louisville
Kent, Ohio-based Carter Lumber opened a new full-service lumberyard in the Louisville, Kentucky market.
In 2020, Carter Lumber began servicing professional builders and remodelers in Louisville through its downtown showroom location, focusing primarily on cabinetry and millwork. The company said the success of the showroom and the growing demand from customers have called for an expansion to include a full-service lumberyard.
The new Louisville location will officially open on June 1, 2024. Nate Christie, a professional with more than 20 years of experience assisting builders in Louisville, will manage this location.
The location — just outside Louisville in LaGrange, Kentucky—has already commenced deliveries to established customers in the area.
The expansion marks a significant enhancement of our capabilities and service offerings to professional builders in the region, the company said.
“Louisville was a natural fit for Carter Lumber. It’s a rapidly growing area and is near many of our current service areas,” said Shawn Trattles, Market Vice President of Carter Lumber. He continued, “It was not long after we opened our showroom here, and customers saw how we were able to perform, that the calls came for us to also supply lumber and building materials. We are grateful to fill that need in Louisville and continue to show customers why we’re the best supplier in the industry.”
Founded in 1932 in Akron, Ohio, private and family-owned Carter Lumber operates more than 170 locations across 13 states. Carter Lumber operates under four uniquely branded divisions: Carter Lumber, Holmes Lumber Company, Kight Home Center and Kempsville Building Materials.
