The panelists described outdoor living and decking as increasingly important categories.
“Outdoor living space is just a huge area of focus for us,” said Shay. “It’s an area that’s not traditional for some basic lumberyards, but we’re trying to create that inspiration center for both inside and outside the house.” Shay added: “I think you'll see a lot of changes among traditional lumberyards as they evolve and look for new ways to be inspiration centers to their customers.”
Miller's locations throughout North Carolina and southern Virginia also see opportunity.
“We're emphasizing the outdoor living section in our showrooms and remodels,” Miller said. “And that's driving traffic and letting people know that know that we’re a go-to location for outdoor living.”
