Established in 2003, Valley Lumber & Rental has been a cornerstone business in Teton Valley, Idaho, for over 20 years, surviving economic challenges and remaining a well-known anchor in the community. Through donations to non-profits, participation in construction industry education programs, and its status as the largest business of its kind in the area, Valley Lumber & Rental has contributed significantly to the local community and construction landscape.
“Our partnership with Kodiak opens exciting opportunities for growth and innovation,” said Valley Lumber & Rental President Whitney Gardiner. “We're eager to leverage Kodiak’s expansive network of resources to enhance our services and meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
With Kodiak's partnership, Valley Lumber & Rental aims to expand its market reach with greater outside sales support, enhance retail sales and leverage shared industry knowledge to improve efficiency.
